Author: Robert S. Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #251 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) 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!" Topics: Worship and Praise; Worship and Praise Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI
