Morning Has Broken

Song: Eleanor Farjeon.

Morning has broken
Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird.

Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the word.

Sweet the rain’s new fall,
Sunlet from heaven,
Like the first dew fall
On the first grass.

Praise for the sweetness
Of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness
Where his feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight,
Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light
Eden saw play.

Praise with elation,
Praise every morning,
God’s re-creation
Of the new day.
