IMMORTAL INVISIBLE

Lyrics

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

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

Verse 3
To all life thou givest, to both great and small
Creator, sustainer, the true life of all
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree
And wither and perish; but naught changeth thee

Verse 4
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight
And so in thy mercy, Almighty, impart
Through Christ, our redeemer, thy grace to our hearts

Sample Introduction

In 1 Timothy we read, “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever.” So let us use this hymn to praise our creator God, who created and sustains the lives of all his creatures and praise our invisible God, whose visible works in nature testify to his glory and majesty.
