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 as leaves on the tree, |
| | And wither and perish, but nought 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. |
| 5. | 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. |
