293. 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,
and 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 the great One-in-Three
eternal praises be
hence evermore!
His sovereign majesty
may we in glory see,
and to eternity
love and adore.
