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 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!
