Morning Has Broken - Live at the Royal Festival Hall
[Intro]
(I'd like to sing you a song that you probably all know very well now
Because it was recorded by Cat Stevens
And made very popular
Actually I remember I used to sing it in infant school
It was a hymn
And it's called "Morning Has Broken")
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 recreation of the new day
[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
(Thank you)
