Hymn 6. Come Thou Almighty King

"Come Thou Almighty King" is a majestic hymn of invocation, calling upon the Holy Trinity. Each of the first three verses addresses a different person of the Godhead—the Father, the Incarnate Word, and the Holy Comforter—before the final stanza unites them in praise to the "great One in Three." The lyrics ask for God's presence and rule over the gathered assembly, setting a tone of reverence and awe.

In the choir loft, this piece is a powerful choice for Entrance processions, especially on Trinity Sunday or during festive Masses. The steady, chordal movement of the verses gives the choir a solid foundation to support congregational singing. For the final verse, this arrangement features a soaring descant by Laz E.N. Ekwueme, lifting the melody into a bright, triumphant climax as the voices sing of eternal love and adoration.
