Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient ofDays,Almighty, victorious, Thy great name wepraise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest inmight;Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,Thy clouds which are fountains of goodnessand 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 nought changethThee.
