The King shall come when morning dawns

Author: Rev. John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 97 hymnals 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 He, victorious, rose, And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes— 4 O brighter than that glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we His face shall see! 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! Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Coming in Glory; Christ Second Coming, His; Coming in Glory Used With Tune: ST.

What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer!

We should never be discouraged: Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness— Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our Refuge— Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Amen.

Sunset and evening star

Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: Irregular Appears in 172 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, 2 But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. 3 Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; 4 For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
