XCVIII. 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 Jesus, our Lord arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Let thine almighty aid,
Our sure defence be made,
Our souls on thee be stay'd:
Lord hear our call.

3 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.

4 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.

5 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.
