(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries:
My heart awaking cries: May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alivek at work and prayer
To Jesus I repair: May Jesus Christ be praised!
2
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!
3
In heav’n’s eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this: May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow’rs of darkness fear
When this sweet chant they hear: May Jesus Christ be praised!
4
Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine: May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the’eternal song
Thru all the ages long: May Jesus Christ be praised!
