Alleluia! King eternal, Thee the Lord of lords we own: Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth thy footstool, heav’n thy throne: Thou within the veil hast entered, Robed in flesh, our great High Priest: Thou on earth both Priest and Victim In the eucharistic feast. For comments on William C. Dix see Hymn 78. _MUSIC._ The tune was taken from _St. Basil’s Hymnal_, Chicago, 1918, where it appears unnamed. It is a traditional Dutch melody. The present arrangement of it is anonymous. 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. 126. Thou art coming, O my Savior _Frances R. Havergal_, 1836-79 The first hymn Miss Havergal wrote after Advent Sunday, December 2, 1873, when she “first saw clearly the blessedness of true consecration.” Frances Ridley Havergal was the daughter of Rev. Wm. H. Havergal, an Anglican clergyman who was greatly interested in the hymns and music of the church and composed a number of tunes still in use. His tune, “Evan,” is used in the _Hymnary_ (153 and 253). Frances thus grew up in a cultured religious environment in which hymns and church music held a prominent place. She was handicapped by a frail body and died at the early age of forty-three. But throughout her short life, from the time of her confirmation at seventeen until the end, she had an unbounded joy in Christian service. No suffering could diminish her faith in the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Despite her poor health, she was a devoted student of the Bible and was able to repeat from memory the four Gospels, the Epistles, Revelations, all the Psalms, Isaiah, and the Minor Prophets. Besides writing many letters counselling those who sought her advice, she wrote devotional books and composed sacred hymns and poems, always emphasizing consecration and service. She made a considerable contribution to the hymnody of the church. Six of her compositions are to be found in the _Hymnary_ (126, 190, 215, 219, 296, 380). _MUSIC._ BEVERLEY was composed for this hymn for use in _Hymns Ancient and Modern_, Rev. ed., 1875. For comments on W. H. Monk see Hymn 40. 127. Christ is coming, let creation _John R. Macduff_, 1818-95
