1 When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking, cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
When evening shadows fall,
This rings my curfew 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
Hath none that can compare
With: May Jesus Christ be praised.

3 No lovelier antiphon
In all high heaven is known
Than: Jesus Christ be praised.
There to th'eternal Word
The eternal psalm is heard:
May Jesus Christ be praised.

4 Ye nations of mankind,
In this your concord find:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Let all the earth around
Ring joyous with the sound:
May Jesus Christ be praised.

5 Sing, sun and stars of space,
Sing, ye that see His face,
Sing: Jesus Christ be praised.
God’s whole creation o'er,
Both aye and evermore
Shall Jesus Christ be praised.

Amen.
