618. Come, Thou Almighty King

1 Come, thou almighty King,
help us thy name to sing,
help us to praise:
Father all glorious,
o'er all victorius,
come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.

2 Come, thou incarnate Word,
gird on thy mighty sword,
our prayer attend;
come and thy people bless,
and give thy word success;
Spirit of holiness,
on us descend.

3 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 power.

4 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.
