'Praise to the Holiest in the height' - John Henry Newman

<p>Leuk dat je luistert naar The Soul in Paraphrase.</p>

<p>Het gedicht voor deze week is &#39;Praise to the Holiest in the height&#39; van John Henry Newman (uit &#39;The Dream of Gerontius&#39;<em> </em>1865):</p>

<p>&#39;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 fail,<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&#39;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.&#39;</p>
