"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. ...

... 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."
