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 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!'
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!'
