C.M.S 139 H.C 136 C.M (FE 819)
"And I will put enmity between thee and
the woman, and between thy seed and 
her seed, he shall bruise thy head, and 
thou shalt bruise his heal" - Gen. 3:15



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 gen’rous love! that He, Who smote 

     In Man for man the fee

     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 praised 

     In all His words most wonderful 

     Most sure in all His ways.  Amen
