Praise to the Holiest in the height

Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 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 the foe, should strive and should prevail; 4 and that a higher gift than grace should flesh and blood refine, God's presence and his very self, and essence all-divine. 5 O generous love, that he who smote in Man for man the foe, the double agony in Man for man should undergo, 6 and in the garden secretly, and on the cross on high, should teach his friends, and thus inspire to suffer and to die. 7 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.

Thy Word is like an armory, Where soldiers may repair, And find, for life’s long battle day, All needful weapons there. 3 Oh, may I love Thy precious Word, May I explore the mine, May I its fragrant flowers glean, May light upon me shine! Oh, may I find my armor there! Thy Word my trusty sword, I’ll learn to fight with every foe The battle of the Lord. Used With Tune: [Thy Word is like a garden, Lord]
