verse 1
When morning gilds the skies my heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer, on Him I’ll cast my cares,
May Jesus Christ be praised!

verse 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 song they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

verse 3
Let all the earth around ring joyous with the sound,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
Let land, and sea, and sky from depth to height reply,
May Jesus Christ be praised.

verse 4
Be this, while life is mine, my melody divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing this eternal song through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
