450. Come Now, Almighty King

1 Come now, Almighty King,
Help us your name to sing,
Help us to praise:
Father, all glorious,
Ever victorious,
Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.

2 Come now, Incarnate Word,
Our just and mighty Lord,
Our prayer attend:
Come, and your people bless,
And give your word success;
Strengthen your righteousness,
Savior and Friend.

3 Come, Holy Comforter,
Your sacred witness bear
In this glad hour:
To us your grace impart,
And rule in ev'ry heart!
Never from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r.

4 To the great One in Three,
Eternal praises be
Forevermore!
You sov'reign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!
