Morning Has Broken - Traditional

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 sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall 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 recreation of the new day!

Morning Has Broken lyrics were written by Eleanor Farjeon and were later made world-famous by Cat Stevens. The song uses imagery of the first bird the first dew and the first grass to evoke the feeling of the original morning of creation. It emphasizes that every new day is a fresh gift from the hand of the Creator. By singing the Morning Has Broken lyrics the congregation expresses a sense of gratitude and renewal finding spiritual significance in the simple beauty of the natural world. It is a gentle and uplifting hymn that fosters a spirit of praise and a deep appreciation for the ongoing miracle of life.
