The King shall come when morning dawns

by Based on the Greek · by John Brownlie

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 215.

Verse 1

The King shall come when morning dawns And light triumphant breaks, When beauty gilds the eastern hills And life to joy awakes.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

O, brighter than that rising morn When Christ, victorious, rose And left the lonesome place death, Despite the rage of foes.

Verse 4

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

Verse 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.
