275. Come Now, Almighty God

1 Come now, Almighty God,
help us your name to laud;
our songs we raise:
Ruler all glorious,
o'er all victorious,
come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!

2 Come now, Incarnate Word,
by heaven and earth adored;
our prayer attend;
Come, and your people bless,
and give your word success;
grant us your holiness,
Savior and Friend!

3 Come, holy Comforter,
your sacred witness bear
in this glad hour.
Your grace to us impart,
now rule in every heart,
never from us depart,
Spirit of power!

4 To you, great One in Three,
eternal praises be
for evermore.
Your sovereign majesty
may we in glory see,
and to eternity
love and adore.
