215 The King Shall Come
[1]
The King shall come when morning dawns
And light triumphant breaks
When beauty gilds the eastern hills
And life to joy awakes.

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.

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

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