Author: E. Caswell Hymnal: Christ in Song #281 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: When morning gilds the skies Lyrics: 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 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!
3 Do evil tho'ts molest?
With this I shield my breast,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow'rs of darkness fear,
When this sweet chant they hear
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song
Thro' all the ages long,
May Jesus Christ be praised! Topics: Christ Praise to Christ; Hymns for Worship Morning Hymns; Christ Praise to Christ; Hymns for Worship Morning Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI
