     1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men. 2 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.(KJV)

1. When morning gilds the skies  
my heart awaking cries: 
May Jesus Christ be praised! 
When evening shadows fall,  
Then sounds my vespers call: 
May Jesus Christ be praised! 

2. When mirth for music longs,  
this is my song of songs: 
May Jesus Christ be praised! 
God’s holy house of prayer  
Has none that can compare 
With Jesus Christ be praised! 

3. Sing, sun and stars of space,  
sing, all who see His face, 
Sing, Jesus Christ be praised! 
God’s whole creation o’er,  
today and evermore 
Sing Jesus Christ be praised!
