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.

Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

This song just came to my memory and I had to look

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and timeless hymn, capturing the profound essence of God's attributes and majesty.

I am 76 years old and am finally getting serious about making instructions for funeral and will and such. I found a note I made years ago that is in my legal papers..."for my funeral sing 'Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise', all verses."
Just reread the verses here and am teary with happiness. I am now writing this into my funeral plans for my daughters to follow. My other hymn is "This is my Father's World." I only regret that the world is such a mess right now. We as world citizens are leaving such a poor legacy.

I recounted the goodness of God in my life, I only know when I was suffering and in pains, how God brought me this far is beyond my imagination. Indeed He is the only wise one, immortal, invisible.

I have known this song since I was a child when I was at school many many years ago. The words are wonderful. I used to sing it now and then. Just this morning the hymn was in my heart to sing.

I looked for this hymn as I entered my devotion today. It brought back special memories, as this was the hymn we sang every morning in our devotion at Mayfield Primary in Jamaica.
Indeed our God is immortal and invisible.
