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 rains new 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 saw play
praise with elation, praise every morning
God's re-creation of the new day

歌词大意

天已破晓，如同第一个清晨
黑鸟鸣唱，如同第一只鸣禽
赞美这歌唱，赞美这早晨
赞美它们使这世界充满了清新

初下的雨水和來自天庭的阳光何等甜美
像新生草原上的第一颗露珠
赞美那湿润花园的甜美
上帝足迹所到之处万物滋长

我就是阳光，我就是清晨
自伊甸园的一道微光中诞生
兴高采烈的赞美，赞美每一个清晨
赞美上帝创造的新的一天
