216. Come, thou almighty King

1 Come, thou almighty King,
help us thy name to sing,
help us to praise.
Father, whose love unknown
all things created own,
build in our hearts thy throne,
Ancient of Days.

2 Come, thou incarnate Word,
by heaven and earth adored;
our prayer attend:
come, and thy people bless;
come, give thy word success:
stablish thy righteousness,
Saviour and friend.

3 Come, holy Comforter,
thy sacred witness bear
in this glad hour:
thou who almighty art,
now rule in every heart,
and ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.

4 To thee, great One in Three,
the highest praises be,
hence, evermore;
thy sovereign majesty
may we in glory see,
and to eternity
love and adore.
