Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Author: Walter Chalmers Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Lyrics: 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. 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. 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 changeth Thee. 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!

Practical Atheism exposed; or, the Being and Attributes of God asserted

Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God; Attributes of God First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics: 1 While men grow bold in wicked ways, And yet a God they own, My heart within me often says, "Their thoughts believe there's none. 2 Their thoughts and ways at once declare, (What e'er their lips profess) God hath no wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his grace. 3 What strange self-flattery blinds their eyes! But there's a hastening hour, When they shall see with sore surprise The terrors of thy power. 4 Thy justice shall maintain its throne, Though mountains melt away; Thy judgements are a world unknown, A deep, unfathom'd sea. 5 Above the heavens' created rounds, Thy mercies, Lord, extend; Thy truth out-lives the narrow bounds, Where time and nature end. 6 Safety to man thy goodness brings, Nor overlooks the beast; Beneath the shadow of thy wings Thy children chuse to rest. 7 [From thee, when creature-streams run low. And mortal comforts die, Perpetual springs of life shall flow, And raise our pleasures high. 8 Though all created light decay, And death close up our eyes, Thy presence makes eternal day Where clouds can never rise. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-2

Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God; Attributes of God First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: 1 When man grows bold in sin, My heart within me cries, "He hath no faith of God within, "Nor fear before his eyes. 2 [He walks awhile conceal'd In a self-flattering dream, Till his dark crimes, at once reveal'd, Expose his hateful name.] 3 His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. 4 He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil; He sets his heart, and hand, and head To practise all that's ill. 5 But ther's a dreadful God, Tho' men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. 6 His truth transcends the sky, In heaven his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgments lie, His anger burns to hell. 7 How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! Oh never let my soul remove From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Condescension Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah! raise, oh, raise To our God the song of praise: All his servants join to sing, God, our Saviour and our King. 2 Blessed be for evermore That dread name which we adore; O'er all nations, God alone, Higher than the heavens his throne. 3 Yet to view the heavens he bends; Yea, to earth he condescends; Passing by the rich and great, For the low and desolate. 4 He can raise the poor to stand With the mighty of the land; Wealth upon the needy shower; Set the lowliest high in power. 5 He the broken spirit cheers, Turns to joy the mourner's tears, Such the wonder of his ways: Praise his name, forever praise. Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:31
