391. 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, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour:
Thou who almighty art,
Rule now in ev'ry heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r.

3 Thou art the mighty One,
On earth thy will be done,
From shore to shore.
Thy sov'reign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.
