100. 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 O Lord, our God, to Thee
The highest praises be,
Hence, ever more;
Thy sov'reign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!
