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.

Come, Thou Incarnate Word,

Gird on Thy mighty sword,

Hide not Thy face:

Come, and Thy people bless,

And give Thy word success;

Spirit of holiness,

Send us Thy grace.

Come, Holy Comforter,

Thy sacred witness bear

In this glad hour:

Thou who almighty art,

Now rule in ev'ry heart,

And ne'er from us depart,

Spirit of pow'r.

To the great One in Three

Eternal praises be

Hence evermore.

His sov'reign majesty

May we in glory see,

And to eternity

Love and adore.
