Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 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 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 friends, and thus 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.

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Thy Word Is Like a Garden, Lord
Author: Edwin Hodder Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:12 Lyrics: 1 Thy Word is like a garden, Lord,
With flowers bright and fair;
And everyone who seeks may pluck
A lovely cluster there.
Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine,
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
For every searcher there.
2 Thy Word is like a starry host:
A thousand rays of light
Are seen to guide the traveler,
And make his pathway bright.
Thy Word is like an armory,
Where soldiers may repair,
And find, for life’s long battle day,
All needful weapons there.
3 Oh, may I love Thy precious Word,
May I explore the mine,
May I its fragrant flowers glean,
May light upon me shine!
Oh, may I find my armor there!
Thy Word my trusty sword,
I’ll learn to fight with every foe
The battle of the Lord.

Through darkness and perplexity
Point out Your chosen way.

That, when this life is past,
I may the eternal brightness see
And share Your joy at last.

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love
that bought us, once for all, on Calvary's hill,
and having with us him who pleads above,
we here present, we bring before you still
that only offering perfect in your eyes,
the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.
2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
and only look on us as found in him;
look not on our misusings of your grace,
our prayer so halting, and our faith so dim:
for now between our sins and their reward
we set the passion of your Son our Lord.
3 And so we come; O draw us to your feet,
most patient Saviour, who can love us still;
and by this food, so awesome and so sweet,
deliver us from every touch of ill;
in your own service make us glad and free,
and may we in your presence ever be. Topics: Christ's Sacrifice; Forgiveness; Justification Used With Tune: UNDE ET MEMORES

Chief of Sinners Though I Be
Author: William McComb, 1793-1873 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be,
Jesus shed His blood for me.
Died that I might live on high,
Lived that I might never die.
As the branch is to the vine,
I am His and He is mine.
2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love,
Higher than the heav'ns above,
Deeper than the depths of sea,
Lasting as eternity!
Love that found me--wondrous thought!
Found me when I sought Him not.
3 Only Jesus can impart
Balm to heal the wounded heart,
Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n,
Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n.
Faith and hope to walk with God
In the way that Enoch trod.
4 Chief of sinners though I be,
Christ is all in all to me.
All my wants to Him are known,
All my sorrows are His own.
He sustains the hidden life
Safe with Him from earthly strife.
5 O my Savior, help afford
By Your Spirit and Your Word!
When my wayward heart would stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Grace in time of need supply
While I live and when I die.

wisdom and and riches and strength evermore
give ye to him who our battle hath won,
whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne.
2 Into the heav'n of the heav'ns hath he gone,
sittest he now in the joy of the throne,
weareth he now of the kingdom the crown,
singeth he now the new song with his own.
3 Soundeth the heav'n of the heav'ns with his name,
ringeth the earth with his glory and fame,
ocean and mountains, stream, forest, and flow'r
echo his praises and tell of his pow'r.
3 Ever ascendeth the song and the joy;
ever descendeth the love from on high;
sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
dying in weakness and rising to reign.
