When morning gilds the skies
My heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus I repair:
To Thee
my God above
I cry with glowing love
The fairest graces spring
In hearts that ever sing
Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this
When evil thoughts molest
With this I shield my breast
The powers of darkness fear
When this sweet chant they hear
When sleep her balm denies
My silent spirit sighs
The night becomes as day
When from the heart we say
Be this
while life is mine
My canticle divine
Be this th’ eternal song
Through all the ages long
