Full 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 as leaves on the tree,
and wither and perish, but naught changes thee.
VERSE 4
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all praise we would render, O help us to see
'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.
