When Morning Gilds the Skies
Author: Edward Caswall; Anon., German Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 700 hymnals Topics: Discipleship 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 The night becomes as day
When from the heart we say,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
The powers of darkness fear
When this sweet chant they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3 Ye nations of mankind,
In this your concord find,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
Let all the earth around
Ring joyous with the sound,
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!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72:11 Used With Tune: LAUDES DOMINI
