215- The King Shall Come

Jesus Christ: Second Advent

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 Christ, victorious, rose
  • And left the lonesome place of death,
  • Despite the rage of foes.

4

  • O, brighter than that glorious morn
  • Shall dawn upon our race
  • The day when Christ in splendor comes,
  • And we shall see His face.

5

  • The King shall come when morning dawns
  • And light and beauty brings.
  • Hail, Christ the Lord! Your people pray:
  • Come quickly, King of kings.
