Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 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. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

Amazing Grace
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; John Rees, fl. 1859 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,414 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.

Amazing Grace
Hymn 57
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 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 57
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.
Hymn 124

Over all this world of sin?

Does your Jesus reign within?

I am reigning, sweetly reigning,

I am reigning in this life.

He did earth and hell subdue;
And bequeathing us His glory,
We are kings anointed, too. [Refrain]

Must we yield to any foe?
No, by heaven’s gift we’re reigning
Over all this world below. [Refrain]
4 Oh, what grace and high promotion,
That in Jesus I should be
Raised from sin to royal honor,
Even reigning, Lord, with Thee. [Refrain]
5 All this life is blissful sunshine,
Earth is subject at our feet;
Heaven pours its richest blessings
Round our throne of love complete. [Refrain]

Of the wondrous blood divine;
Full salvation, glory, glory!
I am reigning all the time.

What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.7.6.6 Appears in 7 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! Topics: Biblical Characters Adam Used With Tune: HERMON
