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 that 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!
