When morning gilds the
skies my heart awaking cries,
May Jesus Christ be
praised!
Alike at work and prayer,
to Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be
praised!
2
Whene'er the sweet church
bell peals over hill and dell,
May Jesus Christ praised!
O hark to what it sings, as
joyously it rings,
May Jesus Christ be
praised!
3
The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be
praised!
The powers of darkness fear
when this sweet chant they hear:
May Jesus Christ be
praised!
4
Ye nations of mankind, in
this your concord find,
May Jesus Christ praised!
Let all the earth around
ring joyous with the sound,
May Jesus Christ praised!
5
In heaven's eternal bliss
the loveliest strain is this,
May Jesus Christ praised!
Let earth, and sea and sky
from depth to height reply,
May Jesus Christ praised!
6
Be this, while life is
mine, my canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be
praised!
Be this eternal song
through all the ages long,
May Jesus Christ be
praised!
