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 The King shall come when morning dawns
And earth's dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
The day that aye shall last.
4 And let the endless bliss begin
By weary saints foretold:
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light and beauty brings;
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray,
Come quickly, King of kings. Topics: The Christian Life Dedication and Consecration; Morning Scripture: Revelation 22:20 Used With Tune: METROPOLITAN Text Sources: Anonymous Greek

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus, at whose supreme command,
We now approach to God;
Before us in Thy vesture stand,
Thy vesture dipped in blood.
2 The tokens of Thy dying love
O let us now receive,
And feel the quickening Spirit move,
And sensibly believe.
3 The cup of blessing, blest by Thee,
Let it Thy blood impart;
The bread Thy mystic body be,
And cheer each languid heart.
4 The living bread sent down from heaven,
In us vouchsafe to be.
The flesh for all the world is given,
And all may live by Thee.

The Truth of God Shall Still Endure
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #59 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The truth of God shall still endure,
And firm His promise stand;
Believing souls may rest secure
In His almighty hand.
2 Should earth and hell their forces join,
He would condemn their rage,
And render fruitless their design
Against His heritage.
3 The rainbow 'round about His throne
Proclaims His faithfulness;
He will His purposes perform,
His promises of grace.
4 The hills and mountains melt away,
But He is still the same;
Let saints to Him their homage pay
And magnify His name.
Amen.

May praise be not in vain;
Teach us to humbly follow Thee,
Thy blessings on us rain.

But from our souls ring true;
Banish the pow'r of Satan's arm,
Our thoughts of Thee be pure.
3 Help us to others be more kind,
To love them more and more;
Help us to lift our brother up,
Still let us Thee adore.
4 Thou art the gift of love supreme,
Our souls with Thee be filled;
Our hopes with radiant glory beam,
Our minds obey thy will.

John Brownlie
1857 - 1925 Person Name: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Translator of "The King Shall Come" in African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Brownlie, John, was born at Glasgow, Aug. 6, 1857, and was educated at Glasgow University, and at the Free Church College in the same city. In 1884 he was licensed by the Presbytery of Glasgow; in 1885 he became Assistant Minister of the Free Church, Portpatrick, and on the death of the Senior Minister in 1890 he entered upon the full charge of the Church there. He has interested himself in educational matters, became a Member of the local School Board in 1888, a governor of Stranraer High School in 1897, and Chairman of the governors in 1901. His hymnological works are:—
1. The Hymns and Hymnwriters of the [Scottish] Church Hymnary, 1899. This is a biographical, historical, and critical companion to that hymnal, and is well done and accurate.
2. Hymns of Our Pilgrimage, 1889; Zionward; Hymns of the Pilgrim Life, 1890; and Pilgrim Songs, 1892. These are original hymns. The Rest of God, 1894, a poem in three parts.
3. Hymns of the Early Church, Being Translations from the Poetry of the Latin Church, arranged in the Order of the Christian Year . . . 1896.
4. Hymns from East and West, Being Translations from the Poetry of the Latin and Greek Churches . . . 1898.
5. Hymns of the Greek Church, Translated with Introduction and Notes, 1900. Second Series: Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, Translated from the Service Books, with Introductory Chapters on the History, Doctrine and Worship of the Church, 1902. Third Series: Hymns from the Greek Office Books, Together with Centos and Suggestions, 1904. Fourth Series: Hymns from the East, Being Centos and Suggestions from the Office Books of the Holy Eastern Church, 1906.
Of Mr. Brownlie's original hymns the following have come into common use:—
1. Ever onward, ever upward. Aspiration. From Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 11.
2. Girt with heavenly armour. The Armour of God. Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 49.
3. Hark! the voice of angels. Praise. Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 57.
4. O bind me with Thy bonds, my Lord. The Divine Yoke. From Hymns of our Pilgrimage, 1889, p. 27.
5. O God, Thy glory gilds the sun. Adoration. From Zionward, &c, 1890, p. 33.

9. Thou art my Portion, saith my soul. God, the Portion of His People. From Pilgrim Songs, 1892, p. 45.
10. Close beside the heart that loves me. Resting in God. This is one of the author's "Suggestions " based upon the spirit rather than the words of portions of the Greek Offices. It was given in Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902, p. 128.
Mr. Brownlie's translations from the Latin have been adopted in the hymnals to a limited extent only, mainly because the ground had been so extensively and successfully covered by former translators. With the translations from the Greek the case was different, as for popular use few translations were available in addition to the well known and widely used renderings by Dr. Neale. Mr. Brownlie's translations have all the beauty, simplicity, earnestness, and elevation of thought and feeling which characterise the originals. Their suitability for general use is evidenced in the fact that the number found in the most recently published hymn-books, including Church Hymns, 1903, The New Office Hymn Book, 1905, and The English Hymnal, 1906, almost equal in number those by Dr. Neale.

Person Name: Anon. Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal hymn and tune book Author of "Take comfort, Christians, when your friends" in African Methodist Episcopal hymn and tune book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
