Words

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,Our prayer attend;Come and thy people bless,And give thy word success;Spirit of holiness,On us descend.

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

Thou art the mighty One,On earth thy will be done,From shore to shore.Thy sovereign majestyMay we in glory see,And through eternityLove and adore.
