Immortal, invisible, God only wise by R. Mills — Lyrics
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessèd, 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.

About Immortal, invisible, God only wise
This is a setting of a well-known hymn text, Immortal, invisible, God only wise, by R. Mills. Scored for SATB choir and sung in English, the music reflects the grandeur and transcendence of the divine. The composer captures the essence of the words, which speak of God's eternal, all-knowing nature, His justice, and His provision of life to all creation. The text contrasts the fleeting nature of human existence with God's unchanging might, making for a powerful and reflective choral offering.
