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.
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 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.
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.

Love this magnificent hymn.
Each week we include a hymn in our time of worship and I can't wait to include this.
This hymn always takes me "there"!!!

Awesome in depth and meaning.
As a child I just sang these hymns in church and school assemblies but now as an adult they come with so much meaning one can't help but ponder and meditate upon the awesomeness of this All-Mighty God.
Awesome!

AWESOME
INSPIRATIONAL
This Song Brings Back Memories Of Sunday Schooling;
Back Then My Parents Encouraged Me In A "Disciplinarian" Way To Attend Sunday School 🏫
Reading 📖 And Singing 🎶 Hymns, Digesting The Word Of GOD, Are One Of The Very Many Things We Do
BUT NOW I SEE THE BENEFITS OF KNOWING CHRIST THEN, HAS SET A "ROCK SOLID" FOUNDATION, WHICH NOW MAKES ME:
*FEARLESS IN SUFFERINGS, TORTURE etc
*MORE THAN A CONQUEROR IN CHRIST
This Is Why The Scripture Says:
"BRING UP YOUR CHILDREN IN THE WAY OF THE LORD AND THEY SHALL NOT DEPART FROM IT"
PROVERB 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”
THE WISDOM IMPERTED THEN {over 30 years ago} IS STILL HELPING ME DEAL WITH A "HATEFUL" WORLD
"WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE" HAS HELPED ME DEAL WITH ALL FORMS OF "CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY"
"FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT" HAS HELPED ME IN HUMILITY AND HOW TO LOVE THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO SHOW HATRED
"SONGS & HYMNS" HAS HELPED ME TO SING PRAISES TO MY "ANCIENT OF DAYS" AND GIVING HIM THE HIGHEST PRAISE, HALLELUJAH 🙌

A wonderful hymn with powerful and thought provoking lyrics.

Beautiful, and Awesome song, am so blessed hearing a song like this in my generation. Truly Jesus Christ is the only wise God and the true life of all. Amen.
This great hymn is very touchy. Verses 1and 3 especially. For those who believe that the world belongs to them, let them meditate on verse 3 and they will have a rethink.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower...Forever shall His praise remain in my mouth for He is my only refuge...I reverence the Holy One forevermore...He is in control. Beautiful song extolling the Majesty of the Almighty God!
