Baptist Hymnal (1975 ed) ‎#2

2. 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 they 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 never 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.
