Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #687 (2012) Meter: 6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the sky,
Let hearts awaking cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
In work and prayer rejoice
To sing with grateful voice:
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, employ
Their hymns of endless joy:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3 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!
4 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! Topics: Funeral Sacraments; Burdens; Comfort; Eternal Life; Heaven; Joy; Morning; Music; Petition, Prayer; Praise; Sickness; Song; Worship and Adoration Scripture: Psalm 19:2 Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI
