Hymns for the Living Church ‎#4

4. 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 victorious,
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 every heart,
And ne’er from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r.

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!

Amen.
