Come the dawn === Let the dawn come?

As in the title, I have the feeling that an expression I heard in a song, "Come the dawn!" has the same meaning as "Let the dawn come!", but is it really so?

It works quite well in that meaning by translating it in the Italian "Che venga l'alba!"

Another possible translation could be "When the dawn comes", but I'm really not sure.

Thanks!
