Lyrics
Verse 1
The King shall come when morning dawns, and light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills, and life to joy awakes.
Verse 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.
Verse 3
O brighter than the rising morn when He, victorious, rose,
And left the lonesome place of death, despite the rage of foes.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 6
And let the endless bliss begin, by weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong, and truth shall be extolled.
Verse 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....
