Immortal, Invisible

“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever: Amen.” | 1 Timothy 1:17

Lyrics by Walter Chalmers Smith
Trad. Welsh hymn melody, arr. Jody Killingsworth

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.

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.

God is immortal, the Ancient of Days;
Perfect in power, and mighty to save.
You are immortal, the Ancient of Days;
Perfect in power, and mighty to save.

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!

All praise we would render; O help us to see
’Tis only the splendor of light—  hi—deth Thee!
