Lyrics
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.
Whene'ver the sweet church bell
Peals over hill and dell, may Jesus be praised!
O hark to what is sings, as joyously it rings, 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 chant they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
In heav'n's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this, may Jesus Christ be praised!
Let earth, and sea, and sky
From the depth to height reply
May Jesus Christ be praised.
