When Morning Gilds The Skies : Lyrics
1. When morning gilds the skies
My heart awakening cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer,
To Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
2. 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!
3. 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!
4. Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th’ eternal song
Through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
