Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Author: Walter C. Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Wisdom 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;
Thy wisdom so boundless, thy mercy so free,
Eternal thy goodness, for naught changeth thee.
4 Great Spirit of Glory, pure Spirit 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. Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO Text Sources: Hymns of Christ and the Christian Life, 1867, rev. by Garret House, 1884, alt.

We Sing the Mighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 476 hymnals Topics: Wisdom Lyrics: 1 We sing the mighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad
and built the lofty skies.
We sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at his command,
and all the stars obey.
2 We sing the goodness of the Lord
that filled the earth with food;
he formed the creatures with his word
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed,
where'er we turn our eyes,
if we survey the ground we tread
or gaze upon the skies.
3 There's not a plant or flower below
but makes your glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow
by order from your throne;
while all that borrows life from you
is ever in your care,
and everywhere that we can be,
you, God, are present there.

O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 490 hymnals Topics: Wisdom Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky:
we praise you for the radiance
that from the Scripture's page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.
2 The church from you, dear Master,
received this gift divine;
and still that light is lifted
o'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chart and compass
that all life's voyage through,
mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
still guides, O Christ, to you.
3 O make your church, dear Savior,
a lamp of burnished gold
to bear before the nations
your true light as of old.
O teach your traveling pilgrims
by this their path to trace
till, clouds and darkness ended,
we see you face to face.
Scripture: Psalm 119:105-130 Used With Tune: MUNICH

Alone She Cuts and Binds the Grain
Author: William Wordsworth, 1770-1850 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Humanist Teachings Insight and Wisdom Lyrics: 1 Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
and sings a melancholy strain:
O listen! for the vale profound
is overflowing with the sound.
2 Will no one tell me what she sings?
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
for old, unhappy far-off things,
and for the battles long ago.
3 Or is it some more humble lay,
familiar matter of today?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
that once has been, may be again?
4 I listened, motionless and still,
and, as I mounted up the hill,
the music in my heart I bore
long after it was heard no more. Used With Tune: DEVOTION
