Morning Has Broken Lyrics
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 world.
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise fore the sweetness of the wet garden,
srung 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 ev'ry morning,
God's resreation of the new day.
Morning has broken ...
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the world.
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise fore the sweetness of the wet garden,
srung in completeness where his feet pass.
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning,
God's resreation of the new day.

Actually, it's a slightly modified version of a hymn, when words writted by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931 and the tune based on a Gaelic melody known as Bunessan.
My wife of 22 plus years picked this as one of the songs at our wedding. I was one of those who basically said, "honey, plan the wedding the way you want it, I promise I will be there..." It was not until TODAY (12-8-2011) that, upon hearing this song, I finally listened to the words, then looked them up and...thank you sweetheart, you picked a perfect song, even if I just figured it out. You made me cry today. I Love you....
Rebirth and new beginnings
I was at a funeral a year ago for my cousin and his family had set up a picture video on a TV and it had been playing an incredibly sad instrumental song and it wasn't until several months later, I heard "Morning Has Broken" on the radio and realized that had been the song in the video, so every time I hear this song, I think of my cousin, especially because his death hit so close to home to me.
like emilstojak said... its about rebirth, new beginnings...
great song
Find this a really beautiful song, it was played as one of the hymns at my mum's funeral and every time I hear this it kinda reminds me of that day. It's one of those songs that makes me feel sad but joyful at the same time
One of the best, most beautiful songs ever writen or sung. Definitely on of Stevens' best recordings.
More words aren't needed...
I like this song so much that I always like playing it on my brother's guitar, i don;t play good, though.
