C D/F# Em
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
C D/F# Em
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
G Em G D/F#
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
C D/F# Am G
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
C D/F# Em
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
G Em G D/F#
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
C D/F# Am G
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
G Em G D/F#
Of all Thy rich graces this grace, Lord, impart
C (D/F# Am G)
Take the veil from our faces, the vile from our heart.
C D/F# Em
All laud we would render; O help us to see
C D/F# Em
’Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee,
G Em G D/F#
And so let Thy glory, almighty, impart,
C D/F# Am G
Through Christ in His story, Thy Christ to the heart.
