Come, Thou AlmightyKing: a wonderful old hymn that we sang today at church - followed by a prayer and a Kirye Eleison

This is one of those grand, lofty hymns which make me feel uplifted every time I hear them. I thought perhaps someone else might enjoy it as well. Here are the words:

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; scatter thy foes. Let thine almighty aid our sure defense be made, our souls on thee be stayed; thy wonders show.

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, eternal praises be hence evermore! Thy sovereign majesty may we in glory see, and to eternity love and adore. #church #hymns #music
