  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 the highest gift of grace
    should flesh and blood refine:
    God's presence and his very self,
    and essence all-divine.

  5. Oh generous love! that he who smote
    in man for ma 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 brethren, and 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!
