Today’s hymn sung by St Martins in the Fields is: Praise to the Holiest in the Height.

Praise to the Holiest in the height

sung by St Martin’s Voices

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 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.

John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
