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  does sadness fill my mind a solace here i find may jesus christ be praised when evil thoughts molest with this i shield my breast may jesus christ be praised  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  let earths 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  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
