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.
Amen. Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN
Come, Thou Almighty King
