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,
He, the last 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 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.
