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.

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;

This hyme remembered me of dedicated and mentor brother who died 18 years ago. I hope that my late brother James Esheya OGodo we continue rest with the Lord until last day.
We used to sing this beautiful, inspiring song in my childhood church. My parents are in Heaven now, but the words of this uplifting song remind me of my wonderful family, whom I will see again with the Lord.

Knowing that You are the only true God gives me hope and assurance. I join my voice with that of the twenty and four elders to declare “Thou art worthy O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power. For Thou art created all things, for Thy pleasure they are and were created."
