Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our
eyes,
Most blessθd,
most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great Name
we praise.
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.
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.
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 splendour of light
hideth thee.
