verse 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.
Thy great name we praise!
verse 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.
Thy great name we praise!
verse 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.
Thy great name we praise!
verse 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.
Thy great name we praise!
[Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
All praise we would render; O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee.]
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
