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 as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish and naught changeth Thee.
Verse 4
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
But of thy rich graces this grace, Lord, impart
Take the veil from our face, the vile from our heart.
Verse 5
All laud we would render; O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee,
And so let thy glory, almighty, impart,
Through Christ in His story, Thy Christ to the heart.
