1. When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer
his presence I would share:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

2. When sleep her peace denies,
my silent spirit sighs:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evil thoughts offend,
he will my soul defend:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

3. When sadness fills my mind,
a comfort here I find:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Denied some earthly bliss,
I’ll still be cheered by this:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

4. 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!

5. In heaven’s eternal bliss
the loveliest sound is this:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let earth and sea and sky
From depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
