May Jesus Christ Be Praised
When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Awake at work and prayer, to Jesus I repair,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
When sleep her balm denies, my silent spirit sighs,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
When evil thoughts molest, with this I shield my breast,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
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.
In heaven's eternal bliss, the liveliest strain is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
The powers of darkness fear when this sweet chant they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Be this, while life is mind, my canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Be this th'eternal song through all the ages on,
May Jesus Christ be praised.
And may this be the chant of our hearts today: May Jesus Christ be praised!
