C Am D Em G D7 G
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
G D G D
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days

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:
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
Verse 4:
Great Father of glory, pure Father of
light
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling
their sight
All laud we would render: O help us to
see
’Tis only the splendour of light hideth
thee
