Morning Has Broken


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!



Cool the gray clouds roll, Peaking the mountains,
Gull in her free flight,Swooping the skies.
Praise for the mystery, Misting the morning,
Behind the shadow, waiting to shine.

I am the sunrise, Warming the heavens,
Spilling my warm glow over the earth.
Praise for the brightness of this new morning,
Filling my spirit with Your great love.

Mine is a turning, Mine is a new life,
Mine is a journey closer to You.
Praise for the sweet glimpse, Caught in the moment,
Joy breathing deeply, Dancing in flight.
