1 When morning fills the sky,
Our hearts awaking cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
In all our work and prayer,
We ask his loving care:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

2 To God, the Word on high
The hosts of angels cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let mortals, too, upraise
Their voice in hymns of praise:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

3 Let earth's wide circle round
In joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air, and sea, and sky,
From depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

4 Be this when day is past
Of all our thoughts the last:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day,
When from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

5 Then let us join to sing
To Christ our loving king:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
Through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
