Praise to the Holiest in the Height
Words: John Henry Newman · Music: John B. Dykes · 1865
Verse 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!
Verse 2
Oh, loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
Verse 3
Oh, wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive, and should prevail;
Verse 4
And that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine:
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
Verse 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!
