Órla Fallon - Morning Has Broken ~ My Land

"Morning Has Broken" is a Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan".

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 rains new fall, sunlit 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

We decided to sing this at our Gaeilge Mass next Saturday looking forward to it. The classic Christian songs should be played more often.

This song was written by a Christian lady called Eleanor Farjeon. Cat Stevens found the hymn and converted it to a song. All words written by Eleanor Farjeon. Birth 13th February 1881, died 5th June 1965

God ask Job where he was when he laid the foundations of the earth and the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy. Job 38:4-11. The first morning must have been beautiful it will be like that again on the day of resurrection for many. I am looking forward to it.

To me, your voice is perfect for this song. And I love how you kept it simple and did not embellish on the notes. Just a wonderful rendition of this beloved hymn.
