‘Come Thou Almighty King’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Sometime in the 18th century, Italian composer Felice de Giardini created what has become the standard melody for this ancient hymn, first seen in a hymnal dating from 1580. Come Thou Almighty King–and the sooner, the better!

This is a contemporary arrangement by Mark Miller, backed up by gorgeous photos of God’s handiwork in nature. I won’t even try to resist the combination.

This 18th century hymn by Felice de Giardini, Come Thou Almighty King, gets a 21st century performance by Mark Miller. Ordinarily, I prefer this not be done. But there’s also something to be said for spirit and exuberance in praising God–so let’s have some!

Thanks to Susan for suggesting it.
