MORNING HAS BROKEN

 

MORNING HAS BROKEN Eleanor Farjeon (1931) 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 God’s 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! This is a sweet hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931, as a song of praise for God’s fresh new day. It became popular after her death when it was recorded by Cat Stevens. You can listen to this refreshing hymn on YouTube if you CLICK HERE.
