1  Im  - mortal, in-vi - si - - ble, God on  -  ly  wise,

1  Most blessed, most  glorious, the  Ancient  of   Days,
2  Thy  justice  like  mountains high soaring       above
3  We  blossom  and    flourish, as   leaves on the tree,
4  All praise we would render  --  O   help  us  to  see

1  Al - mighty,  vic  -  torious,  thy great name   we  praise. 
2  Thy clouds, which are fountains of  goodness     and love.
3  And  wither    and    perish -  but naught chang-eth Thee.
4  'Tis only     the     splendor  of  light   hid -eth Thee!
