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!
When you begin the day, O never fail to say
May Jesus Christ be praised!
And at your work rejoice, to sing with heart and voice
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!
My tongue shall never tire of chanting with the choir
May Jesus Christ be praised!
This song of sacred joy, it never seems to cloy
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this
May Jesus Christ be praised!
To God, the Word, on high, the host of angels cry
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let mortals, too, upraise their voice in hymns of praise
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this at meals your grace, in every time and place
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this, when day is past, of all your thoughts the last
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When mirth for music longs, this is my song of songs
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evening shadows fall, this rings my curfew call
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When sleep her balm denies, my silent spirit sighs
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evil thoughts molest, with this I shield my breast
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day when from the heart we say
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear when this sweet chant they hear
May Jesus Christ be praised!
No lovelier antiphon in all high Heav'n is known
Than, Jesus Christ be praised!
There to the eternal Word the eternal psalm is heard
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around ring joyous with the sound
May Jesus Christ be praised!
In Heaven's eternal bliss the loveliest strain is this
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing, suns and stars of space, sing, ye that see His face
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
God's whole creation o'er, for aye and evermore
Shall 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!
Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing this eternal song through all the ages long
May Jesus Christ be praised!
