When morning gilds the skies,
晨光掠天而過，
My heart awaking cries:
我心醒來喊說：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！
Alike at work and prayer
不論工作、禱告，
To Jesus I repair:
我要向主倚靠：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！

To Thee, my God above,
我愛逐漸加增，
I cry with glowing love,
向神前來事奉：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！
The fairest graces spring
這個喜樂詩歌，
In hearts that ever sing,
永遠不會閉塞：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！

Does sadness fill my mind?
有時我有感喟，
A solace here I find,
在此我得安慰，
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！
Or fades my earthly bliss?
有時快樂消逝，
My comfort still is this,
我的安慰在此，
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！

When evil thoughts molest,
惡念時擾我懷，
With this I shield my breast,
我有上好盾牌：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！
The powers of darkness fear,
黑暗權勢怕聽，
When this sweet chant they hear,
此一甜美歌聲：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！

When sleep her balm denies,
有時不得安眠，
My silent spirit sighs,
只須靈裏吁歎：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！
The night becomes as day,
黑夜要變白晝，
When from the heart we say,
當我衷心歌謳：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！

Be this, while life is mine,
只要一息尚存，
My canticle divine,
仍要如此歌吟：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！
Be this th’eternal song
這是不朽詩章，
Through all the ages long,
永世仍要頌揚：
May Jesus Christ be praised!
願頌讚歸耶穌！
