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!
