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.

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 as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee.

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.

Powerful stuff!
Reminds me of my school days and the joy of devotional singing.
Uyo, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria
I can't help but browse this song after singing the first stanza. It reminds me of those days in secondary school. The song is ever fresh in my mind no matter how many times I sing it. Quite inspiring words of praise to our Father.

Hi, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, just like Ken Miller, this glorious song of praise, always reminds me of my primary school days back home in Nigeria. This Holy Spirit-inspired song is timeless and will continue from generation to generation in praise of the Almighty God.

My daily devotion today included 1 Timothy Chapter one and verse 17 clearly inspired this hymn, which instantly took me back to my school days. I shall now indulge once again.

God is worthy of our praise. Father! receive all the glory!
Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria
I always remember my dad each time I hear the hymn. He always raises it as the first song during the family devotions. I never cared about the song while growing up. But now it is one of my most cherished hymns especially when sung in the place of prayer.
I love it. Thank you very much.

I woke this morning singing the song, verse one. I had to browse it to continue my quiet time with it. Really Glorious. Wao!
