Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #54 (2010) 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 light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray:
come quickly, King of kings. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN
