\\nWhen Morning Gilds The Skies
\\nKatholisches Gesangbuch
\\n
\\nWhen morning gilds the skies,
\\nMy heart awaking cries:
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nAlike at work and prayer
\\nTo Jesus I repair:
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised! The night becomes as day,
\\nWhen from the heart we say,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nThe pow\'rs of darkness fear
\\nWhen this sweet chant they hear;
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised! Ye nations of mankind,
\\nIn this your concord find;
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nLet all the earth around
\\nRing joyous with the sound;
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nBe this, while life is mine,
\\nMy canticle divine,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nBe this th\' eternal song
\\nThrough all the ages long,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nWhen you begin the day,
\\nO never fail to say,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nAnd at your work rejoice,
\\nTo sing with heart and voice,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nWhene\'er the sweet church bell
\\nPeals over hill and dell,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nO hark to what it sings,
\\nAs joyously it rings,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nBe this at meals your grace,
\\nIn every time and place;
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nBe this, when day is past,
\\nOf all your thoughts the last
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nWhen mirth for music longs,
\\nThis is my song of songs:
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nWhen evening shadows fall,
\\nThis rings my curfew call,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nWhen sleep her balm denies,
\\nMy silent spirit sighs,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nWhen evil thoughts molest,
\\nWith this I shield my breast,
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nSing, sun and stars of space,
\\nSing, ye that see His face,
\\nSing, Jesus Christ be praised!
\\nGod\'s whole creation o\'er,
\\nFor aye and evermore
\\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\\n
\\nTo Thee, my God above,
\\nI cry with glowing love,
