morning has broken
early dawns light
fills the morning cove
calling the mists from the water
to rise with the sun
like the first morning
sparkling crystals
cover the morning meadow
fragments of the full frost moon
born of the one light
waking
to the brightening sky
the cove stirs with
wild geese rising
Eden saw play
sound of baby’s laughter
fills the early morning air
joy rises with the sun

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 the springing fresh from the world
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
