Hymn

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.

O loving wisdom of our God!

When all was sin and shame,

A second Adam to the fight

And to the rescue came.

O wisest love! that flesh and blood

Which did in Adam fail,

Should strive afresh against their foe,

Should strive and should prevail.

And that a higher gift than grace

Should flesh and blood refine,

God’s presence and his very self,

And essence all divine.

O generous love! that he who smote

In man for man the foe

The double agony in man

For man should undergo.

And in the garden secretly

And on the cross on high,

Should teach his brethren, and inspire

To suffer and to die.

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.

Psalm 109 (110)

The Messiah, king and priest

“He must be king so that he may put all his enemies under his feet” (1 Cor 15:25).

The Lórd’s revelátion to my Máster: †

‘Sít on my ríght: *

The Lórd has sworn an óath he will not chánge. †

‘You are a príest for éver, *

a príest like Melchízedek of óld.’

The Máster stánding at your ríght hand *

will shatter kíngs in the dáy of his wráth.

He shall drínk from the stréam by the wáyside *

and thérefore he shall líft up his héad.

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.
