Author: Walter Chalmers Smith Hymnal: The Worshipbook #433 (1972) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:8-10 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 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 naught changeth Thee.
4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth thee!
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Service for the Lord's Day Conclusion of Worship; Civil Year New Year; Other Observances Reformation Day Tune Title: ST. DENIO
