One of our students heard me humming “Morning Has Broken” more than once and she asked me about it. I told her that it was one of my favourite songs as it expresses my gratitude and appreciation for every new day. She then asked if I could post the lyrics on the school’s blog. Here it is:
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 world.
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 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.
