Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#333

333. 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,
Scatter Thy foes.
Let Thine almighty aid
Our sure defense be made,
Our souls on Thee be stayed;
Thy wonders show.

3 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour.
Thou who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne’er from us depart,
Spirit of power.

4 To the great One in Three,
Eternal praises be,
Hence evermore.
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.
