Words

  1. 1The King shall come when morning dawns, And light triumphant breaks; When beauty gilds the eastern hills, And life to joy awakes.
  2. 2Not 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. 3O brighter than the rising morn When He, victorious, rose, And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes.
  4. 4O brighter than that glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we His face shall see.
  5. 5The 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. 6And let the endless bliss begin, By weary saints foretold, When right shall triumph over wrong, And truth shall be extolled.
  7. 7The King shall come when morning dawns, And light and beauty brings: Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray, Come quickly, King of kings.
