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.
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.
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.

I am just coming into the knowledge of this hymn, and it is so touching.. simple tune, yet powerful words.

Walter Smith must have written this Hymn from the audible voice of God.
I slept and woke up this morning to found out that the same God "Immortal and Invisible" l left to sleep still present in my waking up ...

This has become one of my favourite hymns. Thanks for posting these lyrics. Was at work and just thought of this hymn.

This is what is Godly music, for worship. today's music has followed the secular music rhythm full of dancing, pride and unGodly practices, which are not gifted from the Holy Spirit.

Today's song composers are not in tune with God (they have little or no intimacy with God), and thus their songs expire. But songs like these that are made out of mutual relationship with God... where simple words end up making complex meanings; how can this song expire? I can't wait to be in Heaven!

This is a song that gears me up when I'm in a difficult situation. It's a song that every Christian must sing when they woke up early in the morning or before going to bed. I LOVE YOU JESUS.
In my deepest thought and hopelessness; this hymn strengthens me knowing that God who my eyes can't see, the ancient of days is with me. My soul be at peace.
