Morning has broken
From Creolista!
Eleanor Farjean (1931)
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 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 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.
