Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1167 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When the King of kings comes, When the Lord of lords comes, We shall have a joyful day, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes! Great Babylon is broken down, And kingdoms once of great renown, And saints now suff'ring wear the crown, When the King of kings comes. 2 When the trump of God calls, When the last of foes falls, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; O, then the saints, raised from the dead, Are with the living gathered, And all made like their glorious Head, When the King of kings comes. 3 When the foe's distress comes, Then the church's "rest" comes; We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes. And then the new Jerusalem, Surpassing all reports of fame, Shines, worthy of its Maker's name, When the King of kings comes. 4 When the world its course has run, When the Judgment is begun; We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see the sons of God well known, All spotless to their Father shown, And Jesus all his brethren own, When the King of kings comes. 5 When the conqueror's hour comes, When he with great power comes, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see all things by him restored, And God himself alone adored By all the saints, with one accord, When the King of kings comes.

When The King Of Kings Comes

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7928 Lyrics: 1 When the King of kings comes, When the Lord of lords comes, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see the nations broken down, And kingdoms once of great renown, And saints now suffering wear the crown, When the King of kings comes. 2 When the trump of God calls, When the last of foes falls; We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see the saints raised from the dead, And all together gathered, And made like to their glorious Head, When the King of kings comes. 3 When the foe’s distress comes, When the Church’s rest comes; We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see the New Jerusalem, Its fullness and its matchless frame, Surpassing all report and fame, When the King of kings comes. 4 When the world’s course is run, When the judgment is begun! We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see the sons of God well known, All spotless to their Father shown, And Jesus all His brethren own, When the King of kings comes. 5 When our Lord in clouds comes, When He with great pow’r comes, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see all things by Him restored, And God Himself alone adored, By all the saints with one accord, When the King of kings comes.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "When the King of kings comes" in The Seventh-Day Adventist 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.

Nathaniel Billings

1768 - 1853 Person Name: N. Billings Composer of "WHEN THE KING OF KINGS COMES" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Nathaniel Billings, born in Northbourough, Massachusetts in 1768. It is not known how Billings learned music, but there were several singing masters close to where he lived. He may have been mentored by Abraham Wood, Joseph Stone, or Jacob French. Woods and Stone published Billing's first-published tune NEW SPRINGFIELD in their 1793 The Columbian Harmony. However, Billing's style more closely resembles that of Jacob French. Billings taught a singing school in Cooperstown, New York in 1794. In 1795 he moved to the Troy-Lansingburgh area north of Albany where he published a newspaper, the Recorder with George Gardner, and issued his tunebook The Republican Harmony. In 1797 he married and settled in Paterson, New Jersey. It is not known what sort of work Billings did in Paterson, but he is listed in the 1850 census as a musician.
