Immortal Invisible God Only Wise
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
Un-resting, un-hasting, 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
Chorus
Who can compare, who else can stand
Immortal, invisible, God only wise
Thy great name we praise
Who can compare, who else can stand
Unrivaled, unequaled and matchless in power
Thy great name we praise
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
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
Bridge
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Great song!
