When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work or prayer, to Jesus I repair;
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Does sadness fill my mind,
A solace here I find,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When fades my earthly bliss,
My comfort still is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day,
When from the heart we say,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow’rs of darkness fear,
When this sweet chant they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
From earth’s wide circle round,
Let joyful notes resound,
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air and sea and sky,
From depth to height reply,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
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!
