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 

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  

Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in 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
