Come and reign over us, | |||
Ancient of days! | |||
2. Jesus our Lord, arise, | |||

Our sure defense be made, | |||
Our souls on thee be stay'd; | |||
Lord hear our call! | |||

Gird on thy mighty sword; | |||
Our prayer attend! | |||
Come! and thy people bless, | |||
And give thy word success, | |||

On us descend! | |||

Thy sacred witness bear, | |||
In this glad hour! | |||
Thou who Almighty art, | |||
Descend in every heart, | |||
And never from us depart. | |||
