‘Morning Has Broken’

I remember this hymn as a major hit circa 1970, sung by Cat Stevens before he lost the label: Morning Has Broken, sung here by the Halton Warehouse Choir and Ensemble. Who knew a warehouse could be an ideal place for choir practice?

Cat Stevens made this a popular song in the 1970s; but long before that, it was a hymn.

Requested by Thewhiterabbit, sung by the Halton Warehouse Choir–Morning Has Broken. 

It might just stick with you all day.

Requested by Ina: Morning Has Broken, sung by Cat Stevens. He has left the church, but the hymn is still here. He was not the only one who sang it.

Note: there is a typo in the printed lyrics. “Fresh from the world” should be “Fresh from the Word.”

Here in Jersey it’s rainy and foggy and grey this morning, not nice at all–but don’t be fooled. God has plenty of glorious mornings in store for us.

Ach, running late again! Rainy morning, completely overcast, still dark when I woke up–so I went back to sleep.

I always try to put up the first two blog posts of the day before I eat my breakfast. No can do today! Mouse’s batteries kaput. So I had to rush out in the rain to our friendly Indian store (because this little store has everything! The owner is a genius) and get some batteries. Happily, that made everything work.

And I found the hymn, Morning Has Broken, to be just exactly the medicine my spirit needed.

It’s late, again I have to play catch-up… but let’s have breakfast first.

I don’t know about you, but the beauty of this hymn brings me near to tears every time I hear it–Morning Has Broken, sung here by Orla Fallon.

When God finished His work, he called it very good.

Somewhere in each and every one of us there is a longing for that Creation as it was.

Sorry, running late today, not at my best…

Requested by Joshua: Morning Has Broken, by David Doring on the pan flute.

‘Morning Has Broken’

This hymn reminds us, oh, so gently, that every new day is a new creation from God’s hand. And we are drawn in the spirit to Eden, where God once walked.

Sung by Orla Fallon, Morning Has Broken.

Beautiful Bonus Hymn, ‘Oh, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus’

We have to thank Joshua for requesting this–Oh, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus, sung by Audrey Assad and Fernando Ortega. Another lovely hymn, Morning Has Broken, also goes with this melody.

I’ve been scanning and listening to nooze this morning, lacerating my soul. But this hymn shares the good news that heals the soul.

‘Morning Has Broken’

This was the first hymn that popped into my head this morning, so I’m going with it–Morning Has Broken, sung by Orla Fallon.

God didn’t just create the first morning of the first day.

He re-creates it every day.
