The editor of <em>The Month: An Illustrated Magazine of Literature, Science and Art</em> asked Newman if he could contribute something, and Newman submitted this poem. These lyrics appeared in hymnals shortly thereafter.

<p>Praise to the Holiest in the height,<br>
|
|
And in the depth be praise;<br>
|
|
In all His words most wonderful,<br>
|
|
Most sure in all His ways.</p>
|
|
<p>O loving wisdom of our God!<br>
|
|
When all was sin and shame,<br>
|
|
A second Adam to the fight<br>
|
|
And to the rescue came.</p>
|
|
<p>O wisest love! that flesh and blood,<br>
|
|
Which did in Adam fall,<br>
|
|
Should strive afresh against the foe,<br>
|
|
Should strive and should prevail.</p>
|
|
<p>And that a higher gift than grace<br>
|
|
Should flesh and blood refine,<br>
|
|
God’s Presence and His very Self,<br>
|
|
And Essence all divine.</p>
|
|
<p>O generous love! that He, Who smote,<br>
|
|
In Man for man the foe,<br>
|
|
The double agony in Man<br>
|
|
For man should undergo.</p>
|
|
<p>And in the garden secretly,<br>
|
|
And on the Cross on high,<br>
|
|
Should teach His brethren, and inspire<br>
|
|
To suffer and to die.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise to the Holiest in the height,<br>
|
|
And in the depth be praise;<br>
|
|
In all His words most wonderful,<br>
|
|
Most sure in all His ways.</p>
