1 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 The night becomes as day
When from the heart we say,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
The powers of darkness fear,
When this sweet song they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
3 Ye nations of mankind,
In this your concord find:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Let all the earth around
Ring joyous with the sound:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
4 In heav'n's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Let earth, and sea, and sky
From depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
