Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
by Walter Smith. It is based on 1 Timothy 1:17: Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. The prevailing metaphor is light—light so glorious that it obscures the Object of our praise. Albert Bailey called this hymn "an attempt to express the inexpressible." It is certainly, as one critic said of it when it was first published, "vigorous in thought and rich in expression."
1. 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.
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.
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.
4. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

Otherwise it is pretty nice.
As for women, which bit of the New Testament do we follow?
Galatians 3:28 "there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus"
And if you want to rely on 1 Timothy, the woman leading the choir is not teaching or preaching.
