Bible Truth Hymns ‎#5

5. When Morning Gilds The Skies

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 pow'rs of darkness fear,
When this sweet song they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised!

3 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!

4 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song,
Through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
