The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#36

36. 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 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.

3 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour:
Thou who almighty art,
Rule now in every heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.

4 Thou art the mighty One,
On earth thy will be done,
From shore to shore.
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And through eternity
Love and adore.
