Morning has broken
And it was spectacular.
.
I have always associated the song with Cat Stevens, being a child of the 70s. I did not know that it is a Christian hymn. Upon actually reading the lyrics and not just sort of humming/mangling them, duh!... it's pretty apparent.
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
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 them springing fresh from the Word
Wonderful light and colours. If only I woke up earlier on my days off to enjoy such scenes. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think this was a day off!
ReplyDelete(On days off, I have come to enjoy lounging in bed...until Allen decides I need to get up to feed him. Which is usually about 15 minutes later than normal. ;) )
