Praise to Christ

Hymnal: LD1884 #1 (1884) First Line: When morning gilds the skies 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 To thee, O 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. 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 When evil thoughts molest, With this I shield my breast, May Jesus Christ be praised: The power of darkness fear, When this sweet chant I hear: May Jesus Christ be praised. 5 When sleep her balm denies, My silent spirit sighs, May Jesus Christ be praised: The night becomes as day, When from the heart we say, May Jesus Christ be praised. 6 Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, May Jesus Christ be praised: Be this the eternal song, Through all the ages on, May Jesus Christ be praised.

Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death to rest with God. Languages: English

With long desire my spirit faints, To meet the assemblies of thy saints. 2 My flesh would rest in thine abode, My panting heart cries out for God; My God! my King! why should I be So far from all my joys, and thee? 3 Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around thy throne of majesty; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. 4 Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of thy grace; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise. 5 Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heaven at length; Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there.
