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!'
Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find
'May Jesus Christ be praised!'
When evil thoughts molest
With this I shield my breast
'May Jesus Christ be praised!'
To God, the Word, on high
The hosts of angels cry
'May Jesus Christ be praised!'
Let mortals, too, upraise
Their voice in hymns of praise
'May Jesus Christ be praised!'
| |
Let earth's wide circle round
In joyful notes resound
'May 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!'
