Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: Worship in Song #34 (1996) Meter: 6.6.6 D Topics: Creation; Morning; Praise; Singing (or Song) Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries,
Thy name, O God, be praised!
Alike at work and prayer
To thee do I repair,
Thy name, O God, be praised!
2 Let earth's wide circle round
In joyful note resound,
Thy name, O God, be praised!
Let earth and sea and sky,
From depth to height reply,
Thy name, O God, be praised!
3 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine,
Thy name, O God, be praised!
Be this the eternal song,
Through all the ages long,
Thy name, O God, be praised! Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI
When Morning Gilds the Skies
