IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, GOD ONLY WISE
1. Immortal,
invisible, God only wise,
In light
inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most
glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty,
victorious, Thy great name we praise.
2. Unresting,
unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor
wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like
mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds, which
are fountains of goodness and love.
3. To all, life
Thou givest, to both great and small,
In all life Thou
livest, the true life of all.
We blossom and
flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and
perish - but naught changeth Thee.
4. Great Father of
glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore
Thee, all veiling their sight,
All praise we would
render; O help us to see
'Tis only the
splendor of light hideth Thee!
