Lyrics

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!


Whene’er the sweet church bell

Peals over hill and dell,

May Jesus Christ be praised!

O hark to what it sings,

As joyously it rings,

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!


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!
