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 word.

{linking up here}

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.
