Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #257 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The King shall come when morning dawns 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 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. Topics: Advent; Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Reign of Christ; Christian year--Return of Christ Scripture: Luke 21:28 Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION (MORNING SONG)
