Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Total Praise #178 (2011) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 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 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!
3 In heav'n's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow'rs of darkness fear
When this sweet chant they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song,
Through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised! Topics: Burdens; Comfort; Everlasting Life; Heaven; Morning; Praise; Prayer and Intercession Scripture: Psalm 5:3 Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI
