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.
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.

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 kept on singing lines from different stanza, but couldn't remember the title.. Woke up this morning and the Spirit helped me to remember the title. My favourite song as a teen.... To all thou givest life, both great and small... nought changeth thee.. God bless you for posting this.

I felt low in spirit until I sang this hymn this morning. I've been praising God ever since. Thank You Jesus.

Was reading 1 Tim 17 in my quiet time thus morning and the first two lines of this beautiful hymn sprang to mind. We used to sing it in our church growing up and I hadn't sung or even thought of it for years. I could only remember the first two lines and how blessed I was to be able to find it. I promptly sang the whole hymn and its beautiful words reminded me what an awe-inspiring and wonderful God we serve.
