| Tune: | [When morning gilds the skies] |
| Composer: | J. Lincoln Hall |
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!
Refrain:
May Jesus Christ be praised,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Alike at work and prayer,
To Jesus I repair;
May Jesus Christ be praised!
2 To Thee, my God above,
I cry with glowing love,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
This song of sacred joy,
It never seems to cloy,
May Jesus Christ be praised! [Refrain]
3 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! [Refrain]
