When morning gilds the skies

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-78) Appears in 702 hymnals Lyrics: 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 Whene’er the sweet church bell Peals over hill and dell, May Jesus Christ be praised! O hark to what it sings, As joyously it rings, May Jesus Christ be praised! 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! 4 In Heaven’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! 5 Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine: May Jesus Christ be praised! Be this th’eternal song Through ages all along: May Jesus Christ be praised! Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Praise and worship

Crosses bearing, dangers daring, By the fire set free, In my Master’s suffering sharing, Send this fire on me. Topics: The Holy Spirit Person and purpose

Heavy laden, sore oppressed, Love can soothe thy troubled breast, In the Saviour find thy rest, At the cross there’s room. 3 Thoughtless sinner, come today, At the cross there’s room; Hark! the bride and Spirit say, At the cross there’s room. Now a living fountain see Opened there for thee and me, Rich and poor, for bond and free, At the cross there’s room. 4 Blessèd thought! For every one At the cross there’s room; Love’s atoning work is done, At the cross there’s room. Streams of boundless mercy flow Free to all who thither go, O that all the world might know, At the cross there’s room. Topics: The gospel Invitation
