Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, 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!
Ye nations of mankind In this your oneness find, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound, May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this th’eternal song Through all the ages long, May Jesus Christ be praised!

And the dawning to noonday bright And Christ’s great kingdom shall come to earth
The kingdom of love and lightWe’ve a song to be sung to the nations That shall lift their hearts to the Lord,
A song that shall conquer evil And shatter the spear and sword,
And shatter the spear and sword. (Chorus)We’ve a message to give to the nations
That the Lord who reigneth above Hath sent us His Son to save us And show us that God is love,
And show us that God is love. (Chorus)We’ve a Savior to show to the nations

Might come to the truth of God, Might come to the truth of God. (Chorus)
