Immortal, invisible, God only wise

by Walter C. Smith

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 21.

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; In all life Thou livest, the true life of all; We blossom and flourish , like leaves on the tree, Then 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; All laud we would render; O help us to see Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!
