About this Hymn
Christians, as a confessional people, do well to sing about the persons of the Trinity, and this anonymous hymn from the time of Charles Wesley and George Whitefield is one of the most enduring of Trinitarian hymns. This doxology of praise is heightened through the added refrain, written by the worship team at our home church.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, thou Almighty King. Help us thy name to sing. Help us to praise. Father, allglorious, o'er all victorious, come and reign over us, Ancient of Days.

Verse 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.

Verse 3
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.

Verse 4
To thee, great One in Three, eternal praises be hence evermore. Thy sov'reign majesty may we in glory see, and to eternity love and adore.

Chorus
All glory be to the Father, all glory be to the Son, all glory be to the Spirit, the Blessed Three in One.
