LBW #522, "Come Thou Almighty King"
Devotion
The unknown author of the text of this hymn had it right: “Come.” This great Trinitarian hymn of praise recognizes our human limitations. This author inspires us to look to our threefold God – almighty King, incarnate Word and holy Comforter – for everything.
Don’t we rely on God for everything? We rely on our almighty King even to help us praise God’s holy name. The incarnate Word attends our prayer and our righteousness. The holy Comforter is the power that sustains us in all we do.
Prayer
Holy Trinity, we owe all that we are and all that we do to you. You brought us into being, you give us the faith to do your will and you give us grace in our time of need. Help us continue to dwell in your blessed community. Amen.
