442 1.When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries: May Jesus Christ be praised! Alike at work and prayer his presence I would share: May Jesus Christ be praised!
2.When sleep her peace denies, my silent spirit sighs: May Jesus Christ be praised! When evil thoughts offend, he will my soul defend: May Jesus Christ be praised!
3.When sadness fills my mind, a comfort here I find: May Jesus Christ be praised! Denied some earthly bliss, I’ll still be cheered by this: May Jesus Christ be praised!
4.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!
5.In heaven’s eternal bliss the loveliest sound is this: May Jesus Christ be praised! Let earth and sea and sky From depth to height reply: May Jesus Christ be praised!
