Morning Has Broken

by Sandra Bennett
TCF

14 Jul

“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, sunlight 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.”

Blessings ~ a new day every morning ~ newly laundered cotton sheets dried on the line ~ toasted coconut pie ~ community suppers ~ clothes on the line ~ washing machine ~
