1 Come, Thou Almighty King;
Help us Thy name to sing;
Help us to praise.
Father all glorious,
O'er all victorious,
Come and reign over us,
Ancient of days.
2 Jesus, our Lord, descend;
From all our foes defend,
Nor let us fall;
Let Thine almighty aid
Our sure defense be made:
Our souls on Thee be stayed;
Lord, hear our call.
3 Come, thou Incarnate Word;
Gird on Thy mighty sword;
Our pray'r attend.
Come and Thy people bless,
And give Thy Word success;
Spirit of Holiness,
On us descend.
4 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour.
Thou who almighty art,
Now rule in ev'ry heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r.
5 To the great One in Three
Eternal praises be,
Hence evermore!
His sov'reign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.
