The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns

Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #88 (1957) Topics: Ancient Hymns 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 light and beauty brings: Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray, Come quickly, King of kings! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN
