1 When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries,

May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer
To Him do I repair;

May Jesus Christ be praised!

2 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!

3 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!

5 In heaven'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!

4 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!

2 Look from the height of heaven, and send to cheer us
Thy light and truth, and guide us onward still;
Still let Thy mercy, as of old, be near us,
And lead us safely to Thy holy hill.

3 So, when that morn of endless light is waking,
And shades of evil from its splendors flee,
Safe may we rise, this earthly vale forsaking,
Through all the long bright day to dwell with Thee.

4 Be this by Thee, O Lord our Saviour, granted,
Who art alone our Father ever blest ;
Whose glory by the heaven and earth is chanted,
Whose name by men and angels is confest.
