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 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 re-creation
Of the new day.
