343. Come to Us, Mighty King

1 Come to us, mighty King,
Help us your name to sing,
Help us to praise:
Father, all-glorious,
O'er all victorious,
Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.

2 Come now, Incarnate Word,
Gird on your mighty sword,
Our prayer attend:
Come, and your people bless,
And give your word success;
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend.

3 Come, Holy Comforter,
Your sacred witness bear
In this glad hour:
To all your grace impart,
Now rule in every heart,
And never from us part,
Spirit of power.

4 To the great One in Three
The highest praises be,
Forevermore!
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.

Amen.
