Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #11 (1970) First Line: When morning gilds the skies 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!
8 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
Thru all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
