The King Shall come

Author: J. Brownlie, 1829-1925 Hymnal: ELH1996 #101 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The King shall come when morning dawns Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns And light triumphant breaks, When beauty gilds the eastern hills, And life to joy awakes. 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. 3 O, brighter than the rising morn When Christ, victorious, rose And left the lonesome place of death Despite the rage of foes. 4 O, brighter than that glorious morn Shall dawn upon our race The day when Christ in splendor comes And we shall see His face. 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. Topics: Watchfulness; Advent 2 Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7 Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION

"Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over." 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All that well deserved His anger He will no more see or heed. She hath suffered many a day; Now her griefs have passed away. God will change her pining sadness Into ever-springing gladness. 3 Hark, the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. Oh that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet Him And the hills bow down to greet Him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked; Make the rougher places plain. Let your hearts be true and humble As befits His holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy And bid the weak be strong. To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light Whose souls, condemned and dying, Are precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers, Upon the fruitful earth, And joy and hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 Arabia's desert ranger To Him shall bow the knee, The Ethiopian stranger His glory come to see; With off'rings of devotion Ships from the isles shall meet To pour the wealth of ocean In tribute at His feet. 5 Kings shall bow down before Him And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing. To Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend, His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. 6 O'er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest. From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand for ever-- That Name to us is Love.
