Hymn: Come, Thou Almighty King
Lyrics: Anonymous; Music: “Italian Hymn,” Felice de Giardini (1719–1796)

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,
And let thy righteousness
On us descend.

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 power.

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

Acts 17:16–31

Psalm 66:7–18 (responses are bold, even-numbered verses)

⁷Bless our God, you peoples;

     make the voice of his praise to be heard;

⁸Who holds our souls in life,

     and will not allow our feet to slip.

⁹For you, O God, have proved us;

     you have tried us just as silver is tried.

¹⁰You brought us into the snare;

     you laid heavy burdens upon our backs.

¹¹You let enemies ride over our heads; we went through fire and water;

      but you brought us out into a place of refreshment.

¹²I will enter your house with burnt offerings and will pay you my vows,

      which I promised with my lips and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.

¹³I will offer you sacrifices of fat beasts with the smoke of rams;

     I will give you oxen and goats.

¹⁴Come and listen, all you who fear God,

     and I will tell you what he has done for me.

¹⁵I called out to him with my mouth,

     and his praise was on my tongue.

¹⁶If I had found evil in my heart,

     the Lord would not have heard me;

¹⁷But in truth God has heard me;

     he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

¹⁸Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer,

     nor withheld his love from me.
