561. Blessèd and glorious King

1 Blessèd and glorious King,
To thee our praise we bring
In this glad hour.
Thou God of peace and love,
Thou Christ enthroned above,
Spirit whose fruit is love,
Display thy power.

2 Come to our hearts and bless,
Give strength and happiness,
And every good.
Direct and safely lead,
Supply each daily need
For thought and word and deed,
Most gracious God.

3 Grant to thy people all
Thy grace for every call,
In this their day;
That heart and life may be
In joyful harmony,
United, Lord, with thee,
Life, truth and way.

4 Help by thy Spirit’s sword,
The true and living word,
Souls to inspire.
With lips now touched by thee,
And hearts from sin set free,
Let us for ever be
All flames of fire.
