Praise to the Holiest in the height

Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-1890 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:14 Lyrics: 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 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.

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 478 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:14 Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair, We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope Or spark of glimmering day. 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace Behold our helpless grief; He saw, and--oh, amazing love!-- He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above, With joyful haste he fled, Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak. 5 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes, His love can ne'er be told.
