1 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.

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.

4 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.

5 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised;
Be this th'eternal song,
Thro' all the ages on:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
