1 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light triumphant breaks,
When beauty gilds the eastern hills
And life to joy awakes.
2 Not, as of old, a little child,
To bear, and fight, and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.
3 O brighter than the rising morn
When he, victorious, rose
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes.
4 O brighter than the glorious morn
Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
And we his face shall see!
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ, the Lord! Thy people pray:
Come quickly, King of kings.
