Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #35 (2018) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Scripture: Psalm 66:1-2 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 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!
3 In heav'n's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow'rs of darkness fear
When this sweet chant they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song,
Through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised! Topics: The Assembly at Worship Adoration and Praise; Adoration; Praise; Service Music Morning Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI
