Morning Has Broken

Songwriter/Translator/Composer Eleanor Farjeon

            C   Dm   G              F   C
Morning has bro-ken, like the first mor-ning
C             Em  Am   D7             G
Blackbird has spo-ken, like the first bird
C              F        C              Am  D
Praise for the singing, praise for the mor-ning
G               C    F    G              C
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 recreation of the new day

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
