Our hymn of the month is “Immortal, Invisible”. This hymn was written by Walter Chalmers Smith a Presbyterian pastor of the seventeenth century. The hymn was based on 1 Timothy 1:17. As you may surmise, each stanza is filled with the blatant display of God’s glory. Many passages of Scripture are amplified throughout this hymn. "The Ancient of Days" from stanza one is from Daniel 7:9. "Thy justice like mountains" from stanza two is from Psalm 36:6. Originally written with six stanzas, stanza four referenced 2 Corinthians 3:15-16. The original stanzas four and five were combined to make the contemporary fourth stanza. This song speaks clearly of many of God’s attributes: His justice, goodness, mercy, and love. If you are discouraged or fearful why not ponder in praise each line and be filled with comfort.
