Lyrics
VerseOne
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!
VerseTwo
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,
Spring in completeness
Where His feet pass.
VerseThree
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!
Scriptural Foundations
22The Lord’s acts of mercy indeed do not end,
For His compassions do not fail.
23They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
19
Psalm 19
The Works and the Word of God.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
1The heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their expanse declares the work of His hands.
31And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
24This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let’s rejoice and be glad in it.
