Come, Thou Almighty King is a grand hymn about our need for the Lord to have our loyalty. The tune ITALIAN HYMN was written in 1769 by Felice de Giardini, who had a thoroughgoing musical career as a violinist and commposer.
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 / scatter thy foes.
Let thine almighty aid / our sure defense be made / our souls on thee be stayed;
Thy wonders show.
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.
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.
