1. When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and pray’r,
To Jesus I repair;
May Jesus Christ be praised!
2. In heav’n's eternal bliss,
The lovliest strain is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let earth, and sea, and sky
From depth to height reply,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3. Be this, whose life is mine,
My canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th’eternal song
Through ages all along,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
