Hymn 131 MAY JESUS CHRIST Lyrics

1. When moming 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 praise!

2. When sleep her balm denies,
My solent spirit sighs;
May Jesus Christ be praised!
When evil thoughts molest
With this I shield my breast;
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 heaven’s eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this;
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The pow’rs of darkness fear,
When this sweet chants they hear,
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
Thro’ ages all along
May Jesus Christ be praised!
