Lyrics

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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, like leaves on the tree, Then wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.

Verse 4

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; All laud we would render; O help us to see 'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee.
