Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #236 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 earth's dark night is past:
O haste the rising of that morn,
The day that aye shall last;
6 And let the endless bliss begin,
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
7 The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light and beauty brings:
Hail Christ the Lord! thy people pray,
Come quickly, King of kings.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Kingly Office of; Christ Second Coming and Judgment of Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN
