May Jesus Christ Be Praised

The lyrics to this song have been in my head all day.  Now "Dad" can see the sun rise & set out his window and say, "May Jesus Christ be praised."


When morning gilds the skies 
 my heart awakening cries:  
 May Jesus Christ be praised!  
 Alike at work and prayer, 
 to Jesus I repair:  
 May Jesus Christ be praised!  
The night becomes as day 
 when from the heart we say:  
 May Jesus Christ be praised!  
 The powers of darkness fear 
 when this sweet chant they hear:  
 May Jesus Christ be praised!  
Let all the earth around  
ring joyous with the sound:  
 May Jesus Christ be praised!  
 In heaven's eternal bliss 
 the loveliest strain is this:
 May Jesus Christ be praised!  

 Be this, while life is mine, 
 my canticle divine:
 May Jesus Christ be praised!  
 Be this th' eternal song 
 through all the ages long:  
 May Jesus Christ be praised! 
- Brad
P.S. - Happy Birthday "Dad/Uncle Brad/Papa!"  It's fun to have so much family together to celebrate :)
