Hymn: The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns (MORNING SONG)

The Notre Dame Magnificat Choir, Liturgical Choir, Folk Choir and Basilica Schola sing the hymn "The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns" (MORNING HYMN) along with the congregation at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. This was recorded live at Advent Lessons and Carols on December 3, 2023. The Singing was led by organist Sienna Stribling.
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.
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.
And 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!
