May Jesus Christ Be Praised

When morning gilds the sky, our hearts awaking cry, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer, to Jesus we repair, May Jesus Christ be praised!

Does sadness fill our mind? A solace here we find, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades our earthly bliss, our comfort still is this, May Jesus Christ be praised!

The night's become as day, when from the heart we say, May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow'rs of darkness fear, when this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised!

Sing suns and stars of space, sing we now see His face, May Jesus Christ be praised!
God's whole creation o'er, sing for aye and evermore, May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this, since Life is ours, our canticle, like flow'rs, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the'eternal song, through all the ages long, May Jesus Christ be praised!
