Reflection | The King Shall Come
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 glo___ry like the sun
That lights the morning sky
O brighter than___the rising morn
When He, victorious, rose
And left the lone___some place of death
Despite the rage of foes
O brighter than___that glorious morn
Shall this fair morning be
When Christ, our King___in beauty comes
And we His face shall see
The King shall come___when morning dawns
And light and beauty brings
Hail, Christ the Lord!
Thy people pray
Come quickly, King of Kings
Come quickly, King of Kings
Closing | Word Made Flesh
In the winter of our souls
Patiently we wait for You___to come
But like an eager little child
We are restless and filled with the wonder of this world
Turn and guide our hearts to You
Turn and guide our lives to You
The Word made flesh
Emmanuel
Son of God
And the most Holy One
Prince of Peace
And Lord of all
We wait for You to come
As I’ve traveled thru life’s doors
And the Advents of before are gone
Where do I stand?
As the candles burn down low
Still the words of long ago resound
Prepare the way
Turn and guide our hearts to You
Turn and guide our lives to You
The Word made flesh
Emmanuel
Son of God
And the most Holy One
Prince of Peace
And Lord of all
We wait for You to come
