Author: Walter Chalmers Smith Hymnal: CGH2010 #58 (2010) Meter: 11.11.11.11 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! Topics: God the Father Sustainer; God-Majesty and Power; Praise and Adoration-God Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DENIO
