Worship in Song ‎#7

7. 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 all gracious Lord,
By heaven and earth adored,
Our prayer attend,
Come, and thy people bless,
Give thy good word success.
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend.

3 Never from us depart,
Rule thou in every heart,
Hence, evermore:
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!
