(one verse introduction)
Morning has broken like the first morning,
Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Ours is the sunlight! Ours is the morning
blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word!
like the first dewfall on the first grass,
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
sprung in completeness where God's feet pass.
born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's recreation, of the new day!
