Praise to the Holiest in the Height (Arr. A. Wright) ft. David Pipe & Nigel Kerry Lyrics

Praise to the Holiest in the Height (Arr. A. Wright) - John Henry Newman

...

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.
