| Immortal Invisible God Only Wise |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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 wither and perish—but naught changeth Thee. |
| |
| Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, |
| Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; |
| All praise we would render; oh, help us to see |
| ’Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee. |
