The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
And Light Triumphant Breaks,
When Beauty Gilds The Eastern Hills
And Life To Joy Awakes—
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.
Oh, Brighter Than The Rising Morn
When Christ, Victorious, Rose
And Left The Lonesome Place Of Death
Despite The Rage Of Foes
Shall Dawn That Glorious, Welcome Morn
For All Who Know His Grace—
The Day When Christ In Splendour Comes
And We Shall See His Face.
The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
And Earth’s Dark Night Is Past;
That Morning Cannot Rise Too Soon,
That Day That Ever Shall Last.
Then Let The Endless Bliss Begin,
As Heaven With Praises Rings.
Hail, Christ The Lord! Your People Pray:
Come Quickly, King Of Kings!
