Author: Walter Chalmers Smith; Bob Kauflin Hymnal: ZSS2007 #4 (2007) First Line: Immortal, invisible, God only wise Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most holy, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, your great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, you rule us in might,
your justice like mountains high soaring above
your clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
Most holy, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, your great name we praise.
3 All life comes from you, Lord, to both great and small;
in all life you live, Lord, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish, but quicky grow frail,
we wither and perish, but you never fail.
Most holy, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, your great name we praise.
4 Great Father of glory; pure Father of light;
your angels adore you, all veiling their sight;
all praise we would render: O Father of grace,
'til one day in splendor we see face to face.
Most holy, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, your great name we praise. Topics: Praise and Adoration God's Omnipresence; Advent Second; Worship and Adoration Languages: English Tune Title: [Immortal, invisible, God only wise]
