21   Immortal Invisible God Only Wise




[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.
