Text: | Come, Thou Almighty King |
Tune: | ITALIAN HYMN |
Composer: | Felice de Giardini |
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 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 Thee, great One in Three,
Eternal praises be,
Hence evermore!
His sovereign Majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.
Amen.
