O Light Invisible, we praise Thee!
Too bright for mortal vision.

We praise thee, O God, for thy glory displayed
in all the creatures of the earth,
In the snow, in the rain, in the wind, in the storm,
in all of thy creatures, both the hunters and the hunted,
For all things exist as seen by thee,
only as known by thee, all things exist
Only in thy light, and thy glory is declared
even in that which denies thee;
the darkness declares the glory of light.
Those who deny thee could not deny, if thou didst not exist;
and their denial is never complete,
for if it were so, they would not exist.
They affirm thee in living; all things affirm thee in living;
the bird in the air, both the hawk and the finch;
the beast on the earth, both the wolf and the lamb.
Therefore we, whom thou hast made to be conscious of thee, must consciously praise thee, in thought and in word and in deed.

 

Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot

 

Our fathers’ God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee I sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King!

 

Samuel Francis Smith

 

We see the light but see not whence it comes.
O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!

 

Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot

 

Praise
the invisible sun burning beyond
the white cold sky, giving us
light and the chimney's shadow.

 

Denise Levertov

 

Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days!
None knew thee but to love thee, 1
Nor named thee but to praise.

 

Fitz-Greene Halleck
