Author: Walter Chalmers Smith, (1824-1908) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #21 (1985) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes 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, like leaves on the tree,
Then 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 laud we would render; O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Tune Title: ST. DENIO
