When Morning Guilds the Sky

1. When morning guilds the sky,
   My heart awakening 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. In heaven's eternal bliss,
   The loveliest strain is this,
   "May Jesus Christ be praised."
   Let earth and sea and sky,
   From depth to height reply,
   "May Jesus Christ be praised."

---

4. Be this while life is mine,
   My cantical devine,
   "May Jesus Christ be praised."
   Sing this eternal song,
   Through all the ages long,
   "May Jesus Christ be praised."
