Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise by Walter Chalmers Smith - Christian Hymns

This is one of our favorite hymns of all times—solemn, powerful, with great lyrics and excellent organ accompaniment provided here by organist Craig Scott. You can read an excellent history and analysis of this hymn, written by Dr C. Michael Hawm, professor of sacred music at Perkins School of Theology, at http://www.gbod.org/resources/history... Here are the lyrics: Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessèd, 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. 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 laud we would render: O help us to see ’Tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.
