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 (be praised)!
Chorus:
May Jesus be praised!
May Jesus be praised!
In all I do, in all I say,
May Jesus Christ be praised,
May Jesus be praised.
2 The night becomes as day
When from the heart we say;
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The p;owers of darkness fear
When this sweet song they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised (be praised)!
3 In heaven'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 (be praised)!
4 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song
Through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised (be praised)!
