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 Word!
2 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 God’s feet pass.
3 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! Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Morning; Animals; Celebration and Praise; Nature and the Countryside Languages: English Tune Title: BUNESSAN
