Hymns for Life IV

We sang this at church on Sunday and it had been in my head ever since. I read in my book that it may have been written by Charles Wesley in response the the national anthem in England that said something like God save the king. He (if he was the writer) wanted to remind himself and fellow believers whoe the real King was.

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 bear

in this glad hour.

Thou Who almighty art, n

ow 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!

Like I said, I've been singing this alot in my head since Sunday. This is what I want our son to know bout God eventually; the importance of the Trinity, His Word, and His Confort, among many other things!
