<p>When morning gilds the skies my heart awaking cries:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
Alike at work and prayer, to Jesus I repair:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>When you begin the day, O never fail to say,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
And at your work rejoice, to sing with heart and voice,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>Whene’er the sweet church bell peals over hill and dell,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
O hark to what it sings, as joyously it rings,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>My tongue shall never tire of chanting with the choir,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
This song of sacred joy, it never seems to cloy,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>To God, the Word, on high, the host of angels cry,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
Let mortals, too, upraise their voice in hymns of praise,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>Be this at meals your grace, in every time and place;<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
Be this, when day is past, of all your thoughts the last<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>When mirth for music longs, this is my song of songs:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
When evening shadows fall, this rings my curfew call,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>When sleep her balm denies, my silent spirit sighs,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
When evil thoughts molest, with this I shield my breast,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>The night becomes as day when from the heart we say:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
The powers of darkness fear when this sweet chant they hear:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>No lovelier antiphon in all high heav’n is known<br>
|
|
Than, Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
There to the eternal Word the eternal psalm is heard:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>Let all the earth around ring joyous with the sound:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
In heaven’s eternal bliss the loveliest strain is this:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>Sing, suns and stars of space, sing, ye that see His face,<br>
|
|
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
God’s whole creation o’er, for aye and evermore<br>
|
|
Shall Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>In heaven’s eternal bliss the loveliest strain is this,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
Let earth, and sea and sky from depth to height reply,<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
|
|
<p>Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!<br>
|
|
Sing this eternal song through all the ages long:<br>
|
|
May Jesus Christ be praised!</p>
