Morning Has Broken

1. 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!
   
2. Sweet the rain’s new fall
   Sinlit 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.
   
3. 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!
