Author: Edward Caswall; Robert Bridges Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 2008 #141 (2008) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: Baptist Hymnal 2008 Lyrics: 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 The night becomes as day
When from the heart we say,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear,
When this sweet song they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3 Ye nations of mankind,
In this your concord find:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around
Ring joyous with the sound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 In heav'n's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let earth, and sea, and sky
From depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised! Topics: Praise, Adoration, Worship, Exaltation of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI
