about
Popularized by folk artist Cat Stevens in the 1970's, Morning Has Broken is set to the same tune as "Child In The Manger", a Christmas song. Eleanor Farjeon, an English poet, wrote words for a previously existing melody at the request of Percy Dearmer, a publisher of music folios. The immediately recognizable piano passage that opens the tune and reappears throughout was played by Rick Wakeman, known from his stint with the popular band Yes.
lyrics
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 world
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 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 the springing fresh from the world
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 recreation of the new day
