His Coming Again — 125. The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
From the Greek
Tr. by John Brownlie, 1859-1925
This hymn, setting forth the hope of Christ’s Second Coming in triumph, comes from the Greek, but no information is at hand concerning the original poem. It is not included in Julian’s Dictionary.
The translation is by John Brownlie, a Scottish minister, born in Glasgow. He published several books of original hymns and translations from the Greek.
MUSIC. JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM is wrongly attributed here to Thomas Hastings though it is possible that the arrangement is his. The same tune, named “St. Michel’s,” appears at No. 93, which see for comments.
For comments on Thomas Hastings see Hymn 120.
