Hymns to the Living God ‎#10

10. 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 pray'r 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 pow'r.

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.
