Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise Hymn 32

1st Stanza Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,

1st Stanza continued Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

2nd Stanza Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;

2nd Stanza continued Thy justice like mountains high soaring above, Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

3rd Stanza To all life Thou givest, to both great and small; In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;

3rd Stanza continued We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee.

4th Stanza Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light, Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;

4th Stanza continued All laud we would render; O help us to see ’Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.

Last Stanza Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,

Last Stanza continued Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

Responsive Scripture Reading Psalm 105:1-24

1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

4Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

7He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

15Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

20The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

22To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

It Is A Thing Most Wonderful Hymn 187

1st Stanza It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be,

1st Stanza continued That God’s own Son should come from heav’n And die to save a child like me.

2nd Stanza And yet I know that it is true: He came to this poor world below,

2nd Stanza continued And wept and toiled and mourned and died, Only because He loved us so.

3rd Stanza I cannot tell how He could love A child so weak and full of sin;

3rd Stanza continued His love must be most wonderful, If He could die my love to win.

4th Stanza I sometimes think about His cross, And shut my eyes, and try to see

4th Stanza continued The cruel nails, and crown of thorns, And Jesus crucified for me.

5th Stanza But even could I see Him die, I could but see a little part

5th Stanza continued Of that great love which, like a fire, Is always burning in His heart.

6th Stanza It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure;

6th Stanza continued But ’tis more wonderful to see My love for Him so faint and poor.

Last Stanza And yet I want to love Thee, Lord: O light the flame within my heart,

Last Stanza continued And I will love Thee more and more, Until I see Thee as Thou art!

The work with little fervour wrought, The battles lost, or scarcely won! 4th Stanza continued

When shall we know Thee as we ought, And fear, and love, and serve aright! Last Stanza

When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light! Last Stanza continued

Lord, may we day by day prepare To see Thy face, and serve Thee there. Amen. Last Stanza continued
