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.
