The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns (#403)
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 3
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And earth’s dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
Whose day shall ever last.
