When Morning Gilds the Skies

Author: Robert S. Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies, My heart, awaking, cries, "May Jesus Christ be praised!" When evening shadows fall, Then sounds my vesper 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 Has none that can compare With "Jesus Christ be praised." 3 Let all of humankind In this their concord find: "May Jesus Christ be praised!" Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound: "May Jesus Christ be praised!" 4 Sing, sun and stars of space; Sing, all who see his face; Sing, "Jesus Christ be praised!" God's whole creation o'er, Today and evermore, Sing, "Jesus Christ be praised!"

Grant us, then, the grace of giving With a spirit large and true That our life and all our living We may consecrate to you. 2 We are yours -- your mercy sought us, Found us in death's dreadful way, To the fold in safety brought us, Nevermore from you to stray. Your own life was freely given As an off'ring on the cross For each sinner, now forgiven From eternal shame and loss. 3 Blessed by you with gifts and graces, May we heed your Spirit's call, Gladly in all times and places Give to you who gives us all. You have bought us; now no longer Can we claim to be our own; Ever free and ever stronger We shall serve you, Lord, alone. Topics: Stewardship; Stewardship Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

Crown him as your captain In temptation's hour; Let his will enfold you In its light and pow'r. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus Shall return again In his Father's glory, With his angel train; For all wreaths of empire Meet upon his brow, And our hearts confess him King of glory now.
