Lyrics

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
Sweet, the rain's new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dew fall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness on the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
