2. P. M. Anonymous.

Solemn Invocation.

1Come, 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!

2Come, thou all gracious Lord!

By heaven and earth adored,

Our prayer attend!

Come, and thy children bless;

Give thy good word success;

Make thine own holiness

On us descend!

3Never from us depart;

Rule thou in every heart,

Hence, evermore!

Thy sovereign majesty

May we in glory see,

And to eternity

Love and adore.
