Author: John Brownie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #707 (1969) 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: The Christian Year Adventtide Tune Title: CONSOLATION
