1 When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evening shadows fall,
this rings my curfew call:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
2 When mirth for music longs,
this is my song of songs:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
God's holy house of prayer
has none that can compare
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3 No lovelier antiphon
in all high heaven is known
that ""Jesus Christ be praised!""
There to the eternal Word
the eternal psalm is heard;
oh, Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Let all of humankind
in this their concord find:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around
ring joyous with the sound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing, sun and stars of space,
sing, all who see his face,
sing, ""Jesus Chreist be praised!""
God's whole creation o'er,
today and evermore
shall Jesus Christ be praised!
