Walter Chalmers Smith, 1824-1908
Verse 1
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.
Verse 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.
Verse 3
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.
About Immortal, Invisible
Immortal, invisible, God only Wise is another song that I grew up on. As a little boy, I loved to hear songs played on the organ with the congregation - these awesome, majestic tunes - and it is so interesting that a song like this could be written to declare the power of God, the awesomeness of God, and the riches of God. God is invisible, but the effects of Him are seen throughout the world. There's no one that can say that there is no God, really and truly. May this song be a source of inspiration for you, as you trust in God whom you cannot see, but whom you know is there by His Spirit, and may He lead you and guide you into the truth, Who is Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
