18. Praise to the holiest in the height

1 Praise to the holiest in the height,
And in the depth be praise,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.

2 O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.

3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
Which did in Adam fail,
Should strive afresh against their foe,
Should strive and should prevail.

4 Praise to the holiest in the height,
And in the depth be praise,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.
