CATHOLIC HYMNS.
34. May Jesus Christ be praised!
When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries,
May Jesus Christ be prais'd!
Alike at work and prayer,
To Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be prais'd!
The sacred minster bell,
It peals o'er hill and dell:
May, &c.
Oh, hark to what it sings,
As Joyously it rings.
May, &c.
When you begin the day,
Oh, never fail to say,
May, &c.
And at your work rejoice
To sing with heart and voice,
May, &c.
Be this at meals your grace,
In every time and place,
May, &c.
Be this, when day is past,
Of all your thoughts the last,
May, &c.
To God the Word on high
The hosts of angels cry,
May, &c.
Let children too upraise
Their voice in hymns of praise:
May, &c.
