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 generous 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 who in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his followers, 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.
