Morning Has Broken

A beautiful hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon, made famous by Cat Stevens, made musical by Rick Wakeman, celebrating the God who made it all! Also includes some tales from my visit to the Stretham Rookery.

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 sunlit from heaven,
like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
sprung in completeness where God’s 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 recreation of the new day!
