8. 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 pow'r.

4 To Thee, great One in Three,
Eternal praises be,
Hence evermore;
Thy sov'reign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.
