Praise to the Holiest in the height

Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:12-21 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 O generous love! that he who smote in Man, for man, the foe, the double agony in Man for man should undergo; 4 And in the garden secretly, and on the Cross on high, should teach his brethren, and inspire to suffer and to die. 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.

Amazing Grace

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; John Rees, fl. 1859 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,466 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:2-17 First Line: Amazing grace! How sweet the sound Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! 3 The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. 4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 5 When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.

Hymn 57

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:12 First Line: Backward with humble shame we look Lyrics: Backward with humble shame we look On our original; How is our nature dashed and broke In our first father's fall! To all that's good averse and blind, But prone to all that's ill What dreadful darkness veils our mind! How obstinate our will! [Conceived in sin, O wretched state! Before we draw our breath The first young pulse begins to beat Iniquity and death. How strong in our degen'rate blood The old corruption reigns, And, mingling with the crooked flood, Wanders through all our veins.] [Wild and unwholesome as the root Will all the branches be; How can we hope for living fruit From such a deadly tree? What mortal power from things unclean Can pure productions bring? Who can command a vital stream From an infected spring?] Yet, mighty God! thy wondrous love Can make our nature clean, While Christ and grace prevail above The tempter, death, and sin. The second Adam shall restore The ruins of the first; Hosannah to that sovereign power That new-creates our dust!

Hymn 124

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:12 First Line: Deep in the dust before thy throne Lyrics: Deep in the dust before thy throne Our guilt and our disgrace we own; Great God! we own th' unhappy name Whence sprang our nature and our shame; Adam the sinner: at his fall, Death like a conqueror seized us A thousand new-born babes are dead By fatal union to their head. But whilst our spirits, filled with awe, Behold the terrors of thy law, We sing the honors of thy grace, That sent to save our ruined race. We sing thine everlasting Son, Who joined our nature to his own: Adam the second from the dust Raises the ruins of the first. [By the rebellion of one man Through all his seed the mischief ran; And by one man's obedience now Are all his seed made righteous too.] Where sin did reign, and death abound, There have the sons of Adam found Abounding life; there glorious grace Reigns through the Lord our righteousness.

What Adam's Disobedience Cost

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.7.6.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:19 Lyrics: 1 What Adam's disobedience cost, let Holy Scripture say: ourselves estranged, an Eden lost, and then a judment day: each day a judgment day. 2 An Ark of mercy rode the flood, but we, where waters swirled, rebuilt, impatient of the good, another fallen world: an unrepentant world. 3 A little Child is Adam's heir, is Adam's hope and Lord, Sing joyful carols ev'rywhere, that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored. 4 Regained is Adam's blessedness: the angels sheathe their swords; in joyful carols all confess the Kingdom is the Lord's: the glory is the Lord's!
