Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-1890 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #572c (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Praise to the Holiest in the height 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 And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
6 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.
