Morning Has Broken- 53

Morning has broken like the first morning,

black-bird has spoken like the first bird.

Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!

Praise for them, springing fresh from the wind!

Sweet the rain’s new fall sunlit from heaven,

like the first dew-fall on the first grass.

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,

sprung in completeness where God’s 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!
