1. Im-mortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light in-ac-ces-si-ble hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the An cient of Days,
al-might-y, vic-to-rious, thy great name we praise.
2. Un-rest-ing, un-hast-ing, and si-lent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains high soar-ing a-bove
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 chang-eth thee.
4. Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light;
thine angles a-dore thee, all veiling their sight;
all laud we would render: O help us to see
'tis only the splendor of light hid-eth thee.
