1. 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.
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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

SCRIPTURE READING “Philippians 4:11-13” CEB
I’m not saying this because I need anything, for I have learned how to be content in any
circumstance. 12 I know the experience of being in need and of having more than enough; I have
learned the secret to being content in any and every circumstance, whether full or hungry or whether
having plenty or being poor. 13 I can endure all these things through the power of the one who gives
me strength.
This is God’s Word for God’s people. Thanks be to God.
