When Morning Gilds the Skies
Author: Edward Caswall Appears in 700 hymnals First Line: When morning gilds the skies, My heart awakening cries (Caswall) Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds 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 the eternal song
through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

When Morning Gilds The Skies
Author: Anon.; Caswall; Bridges Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
My heart, awaking, cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evening shadows fall,
I voice the pious call:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
2 When mirth for music longs,
This is my song of songs:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
God's holy house of prayer
Bids me its worship share:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3 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!
4 In heav'n's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let earth and sea and sky
From depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
5 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
Of heaven's joyful throng:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
