The New Christian Hymnal ‎#24

24. 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,
Hide not Thy face:
Come, and Thy people bless,
And give Thy word success;
Spirit of holiness,
Send us Thy grace.

3 Come, Holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour:
Thou who almighty art,
Now rule in ev'ry heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r.

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