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.
And in the depth be praise:
In all His words most wonderful;
Most sure in all His ways.

O loving wisdom of our God,
When all was sin and shame,
He, the last Adam, to the fight
And to the rescue came.
When all was sin and shame,
He, the last Adam, to the fight
And to the rescue came.

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

And that a higher gift than grace
Should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence, and His very self
And essence all-divine.
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.
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.
And on the cross on high,
Should teach His brethren, and inspire
To suffer and to die.

I read somewhere that W. E. Gladstone, the British Prime Minister sang this hymn over and over to himself as he lay on his death bed, no doubt thinking of his soon to come entry into heaven.

First song in the morning, before meditation. First song in the morning before going out, first song in the morning before work.
Singing praise to the God of all creation first thing in the morning is the food of the inner spirit and soul.

O generous love ... in MAN for man
This is the height of all the salvation promised in Genesis, after the fall of the first Adam.

I love this hymn and especially all the words. It’s a shame the recorded version at Peterborough cathedral left out verses 3 and 4 but thank you for these beautiful words.
