Advent 4th: The King Shall Come - CBW III 318

Join us on a musical journey through the Seasons of Christ: Advent.

The King Shall Come (1859th year of our Lord)

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,
Crowned with glory like the sun that lights the morning sky.

O brighter than the glorious morn, shall that fair morning be,
When Christ our Lord in beauty comes and we his face shall see.

The king shall come when morning dawns, and earth's dark night is past,
O haste the rising of that morn: forever shall it last.
