The King Shall Come - Alderon Tyran

This song has been a favorite of mine for several years since I heard it in church as a little kid. The hymn was originally written by John Brownlie (1856-1925) and was inspired by Greek Orthodox hymnody. Since it's original writing down it's had multiple melodies put to it, this one based on the version I grew up with which uses the melody of "Morning Song" by Elkanah Kelsay Dare (1782-1826) An American composer from New England. Traditionally this song is an Advent song, sung during the 40 days leading up to Christmas, although I have heard it done during Easter since the general sense of "Waiting for Christ" is relevant during both seasons. Overall, I simply love the song so the song will be in both playlists. Merry Christmas! Lyrics: (I realize that the font I used may not be legible to some) 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, But crowned with glory like the sun that lights the morning sky. Oh, brighter than the rising morn when Christ, victorious, rose And left the lonesome place of death despite the rage of foes Shall dawn that glorious, welcome morn for all who know his grace— The day when Christ in splendor comes and we shall see his face. The King shall come when morning dawns and earth's dark night is past; That morning cannot rise too soon, that day that e'er shall last. Then let the endless bliss begin, by weary saints foretold; When right shall triumph over wrong, and truth shall be extolled! The King shall come when morning dawns and light and beauty brings; “Hail, Christ the Lord!” Your people pray: come quickly, King of kings!
