Featured Hymn for July 31: Come, Thou Almighty King

In his first letter to Timothy, the apostle Paul warns him that the Christian life is a constant war against evil. He commands Timothy to “Fight the good fight of the faith” (1 Timothy 6:12, ESV). A few verses later, Paul describes the one for whose sake we fight: “he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen” (1 Timothy 6:15-16, ESV). In this hymn, we praise God as our King and Ruler, addressing each Person of the Trinity in turn, and end with a request that

“His Sovereign majesty

May we in glory see.”
