Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801 - 90 Appears in 175 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent; The Church Year Lent; The Church Worship - The Lord's Day; The Church Worship - The Beginning of Service; The Church Worship - The Close of Service; The Church Worship - Morning; The Life In Christ Adoration and Praise 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. A-men.
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.
Amen. Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love;
To him uplift your voice,
At whose supreme command
From earth we rise, and seek the joys
At his right hand.
2 Though nature's strength decay,
And earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan's bound we urge our way
At his command.
The watery deep we pass,
With Jesus in our view;
And through the howling wilderness
Our way pursue. A-men.
3 The goodly land we see
With peace and plenty blest;
A land of sacred liberty
And endless rest;
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound,
And trees of life for ever grow,
With mercy crowned.
4 There dwells the Lord our King,
The Lord our Righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace;
On Zion's sacred height
His kingdom He maintains,
And glorious with his saints in light
For ever reigns.
5 Before the great Three-One
They all exulting stand,
And tell the wonders he hath done
Through all their land;
The listening spheres attend
And swell the growing frame,
And sing, in songs which never end,
The wondrous Name.
6 The God who reigns on high
The great archangels sing,
And, 'Holy, holy, holy,' cry,
'Almighty King,
Who was, and is, the same,
And evermore shall be:
Eternal Father, great I AM,
We worship thee.'
7 Before the Saviour's face
The ransomed nations bow,
O'erwhelmed at his almighty grace,
Forever new;
He shows his prints of love:
They kindle to a flame,
And sound through all the worlds above,
'Worthy the Lamb.'
8 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
'Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!'
They ever cry;
Hail, Abraham's God, and mine!
I join the heavenly lays.
All might and majesty are thine,
And endless praise!
Amen. Used With Tune: LEONI (YIGDAL) Text Sources: Based on the Yigdal

Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is his, is his by right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal Light;
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below,
To whom he manifests his love
And grants his Name to know.
4 To them the Cross with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of his love.
6 The Cross he bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme. Used With Tune: NOTTINGHAM (ST. MAGNUS)
The head that once was crowned with thorns
