Immortal,
Invisible, God only Wise
- Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid form our eyes,
Most blessed most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great Name we praise.
- 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.
- 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 winter and perish—but naught changeth thee.
- 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 splendour of light hideth thee.
