MORNING HAS BROKEN

(Farjeon/Gaelic Melody)

 

Morning has broken

Like the first morning,

Blackbird has spoken

Like the first bird.

Praise for the singing!

Praise for the morning!

Prais for them, springing

Fresh from the Word!

 

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,

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!

 

HOW GREAT THOU ART

(Hine)

 

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,

I see the stars,

I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

 

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

 

When through the woods and forest glades I wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,

And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

 

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

 

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration,

And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

 

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
