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

3 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.

4 To thee, great One in Three,
The highest praises be,
Hence evermore!
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!

Amen.
