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.

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.

My daily devotion today included 1 Timothy Chapter one and verse 17 clearly inspired this hymn, which instantly took me back to my school days. I shall now indulge once again.

I always remember my dad each time I hear the hymn. He always raises it as the first song during the family devotions. I never cared about the song while growing up. But now it is one of my most cherished hymns especially when sung in the place of prayer.
I love it. Thank you very much.

I woke this morning singing the song, verse one. I had to browse it to continue my quiet time with it. Really Glorious. Wao!

Praise God for all the dear brothers and sisters throughout the world who commented on this great song! Praying the Lord will bless you with peace and joy!
The words are full of a heavenly poetic expression that those who love and know the Lord can identify with. Thank you to Mr Chalmer Smith and the Holy Spirit, our Lord who inspired him.
Thank You Father.
