Good Sunday morning to you!\u00a0 I just heard this old hymn a few minutes ago and thought I would share. What great words – amen!<\/p>\n
When 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!<\/p>\n
Does sadness fill my mind?
\nA solace here I find,
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\nOr fades my earthly bliss?
\nMy comfort still is this,
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!<\/p>\n
When 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!<\/p>\n
The night becomes as day
\nWhen from the heart we say:
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\nThe pow\u2019rs of darkness fear
\nWhen this sweet chant they hear:
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!<\/p>\n
In heav\u2019n\u2019s eternal bliss
\nThe loveliest strain is this,
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\nLet earth, and sea, and sky
\nFrom depth to height reply,
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!<\/p>\n
Be this, while life is mine,
\nMy song of love divine:
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!
\nSing this eternal song
\nThrough all the ages long:
\nMay Jesus Christ be praised!<\/p>\n
