Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise Lyrics

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

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

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,

Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight

Of all thy rich graces this grace, Lord impart

Take the veil from our faces, the veil from our heart

To God be the glory, great things he hath done

So loved he the world that he gave us his Son

Who yielded his life an atonement for sin

And opened the life-gate that all may go in

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives

Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done

And great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see
