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 re-creation of the new day

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
