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 Jesus, our Lord, descend;
From all our foes defend,
Nor let us fall;
Let Thine almighty aid
Our sure defense be made:
Our souls on Thee be stayed;
Lord, hear our call!
3 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.
4 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!
5 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.
