Come, Thou Almighty King (performance)

Come, Thou Almighty King
Number 71 in the SDA Hymnal
This song is usually censored to remove any mildly uncomfortable lyrics, which means that verse 2 is typically not included at all, and reference to the word "sword" is sometimes removed from verse 3. This version is the full unabridged 1783 version (courtesy of Wikipedia). Have you ever pondered on the rights or wrongs of modifying hymns to suit modern-day sensibilities? Should we disregard the original author's work (which may well have been Spirit-inspired)? Should we just choose to ignore the hymns we don't like rather than cut them up? Why are hymns censored in this way, but not the Bible?
