Morning has broken



38.   Morning Has Broken
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 world.

Sweet the rain’s dew fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall 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 / everyone saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day.


39.  THREE BLIND MICE
Three blind mice     (2x)
See how they run    (2x)
They all run after the farmer’s wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a sight in your life
As three blind mice, three blind mice.
