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 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.

Classical, timeless and so apt in enumerating the attributes of our God. I am always thrilled and captivated emotionally by this song since my childhood. And in adulthood, I appreciate it more as the meaning is impactful and relevant to our present day.

What a great hymn, the first stanza kept on flashing through my mind through out today and what an Almighty Victorious God we serve and praise, the only Wise God.

I wanted to focus on the Father this morning and sing. The first line of this hymn came to mind. Thank God for this website! I could sing to the Lord. Very blessed to start my day out with praising the Almighty, the Victorious! And the Lord Jesus delights to lead me into victory today. Praise the Lord!
