Lyrics
When morning gilds the sky,
Our hearts awaking cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
In all our work and prayer
We ask his loving care:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
To God, the Word on high,
The hosts of angels cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let mortals too upraise
Their voices in hymns of praise:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Then let us join to sing
To Christ, our loving King:
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
Let earth's wide circle round
In joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air and sea and sky
From depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Then let us join to sing
To Christ, our loving King:
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
Bridge:
Be this, when day is past,
Of all our thoughts the last:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day
When from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Then let us join to sing
To Christ, our loving King:
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
Then let us join to sing
To Christ, our loving King:
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
