Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Words by: Walter Chalmers Smith
Music: An old Welsh Tune (St Denio)
(6/8 time)

[Verse 1]
C D C G
Immortal, invisible, God only wise
C D C G
In light inaccessible, hid from our eyes
G Em G D
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days
C D C G
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise

[Verse 2]
C D C G
Unresting, unhasting and silent as light
C D C G
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might
G Em G D
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
C D C G
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love

[Verse 3]
C D C G
To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small
C D C G
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all
G Em G D
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree
C D C G
And whither and perish but naught changeth Thee

[Verse 4]
C D C G
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light
C D C G
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight
G Em G D
All praise we would render; O help us to see
C D C G
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!
