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!

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 song they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised!

In heav’n’s eternal bliss the sweetest 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! Be this th’eternal song Thru all the ages on, May Jesus Christ be praised!
