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.
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.

Unresting, unhasting,
and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting,
thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains
high soaring above
they clouds which are fountains
of goodness and love.
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.

Praise God, from whom

all blessings flow;
Praise God, all creatures

Praise God, the source
of all our gifts!
Praise Jesus Christ,
whose power uplifts!
Praise the Spirit, Holy Spirit!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

America

My country, 'tis of thee, My native country, thee,

sweet land of liberty, land of the noble free,
of thee I sing; thy name I love;
land where my fathers died, I love thy rocks and rills,
land of the pilgrims' pride, thy woods and templed hills;
from every mountainside my heart with rapture thrills,
let freedom ring! like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees
sweet freedom's song;
let mortal tongues awake;
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break,
the sound prolong.
America

Our fathers' God, to thee,
author of liberty,
to thee we sing;
long may our land be bright
with freedom's holy light;
protect us by thy might,
great God, our King.
Praise God, from whom
all blessings flow;
Praise him all creatures
here below;
Praise him above,
ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
