428. 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;
Come, give Thy word success:
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend!

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 Thee, great One in Three,
The highest praises be,
Hence, evermore;
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore
