MORNING HAS BROKEN - Cat Stevens (Lyrics) 

2024 anyone?

Love this song. Grew up in Africa, and this is the song we sang every morning for assembly. St. George’s School, Nairobi, Kenya

I'm.laying here in a hospital bed Nov.30, 2021 and the nurse asked me if I wanted the blind pulled down. I said no, I like sunrises. I started singing this song and praising and worshipping my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Then I went to find it on RU-vid and played it and sang, as best as I could, along with it. All praise and glory to the Most High God!

I will never ever forget this song. My 3 week old baby died from sudden infant death syndrome in 1991 and this song was playing at his viewing. I found my baby boy in his crib that early morning. I know now that he woke up safe in the arms of Jesus in heaven . I can now finally listen to this song and feel peace in my heart. I love you baby Justin ❤️

In Life, there are songs once heard, never forgotten... this beautiful song in its simplicity, is most definitely one of them.

I have been playing this song almost every morning since i was in my 30s, i am almost 72 , and i still play and sing along with it as part of my morning prayer, it has helped me a lot to start my day in a good note specially on difficult and challenging moments of my life. It has always given me strength and courage to forge on. Thank you CAT STEVENS. THANK YOU LORD!

I walked down the aisle to "Morning Has Broken" during our wedding over 46 years ago. Three of our friends sang and played it on 12 string guitar. It still brings us peace. And Yes, we are still together.

One of the most beautiful, inspiring songs I've ever heard...

This song changed my life many years ago as an 18 year old on the wrong path. It means so much to me, to this day💟

Some people just don't recognize true beauty when they hear it... one of the most beautiful songs of all time.... PRAISE FOR THE GREAT LOVE AND BEAUTY OF THE LORD AND ALL HE HAS CREATED !!!!!!💜🙏

I was sitting in the garden drinking coffee on this beautiful morning. A blackbird came and perched on the wall just beside me and recommended I listen to this song. I am so glad I took his advice.

I played this song at the vet's office for my 17 year old cat Maddie that I sadly had to put to sleep on 2.21.22. she was deaf, but I didn't care I sang to her the whole time as I gave her kisses and cupped her little head in my hands while giving her kisses. It was a nice peaceful transition for her, but I will never be able to listen to this song without balling my eyes out. It's so hard losing a pet. Heartache runs deeper than words can even begin to describe. 🐾❤️🐾❤️

Some are able to put their feelings, emotions into words and music. The rest of listen and appreciate.

I lost my dad recently but I remember him singing this song to me and my brother in the morning when we were just a child. He had a soothing voice and hearing this song makes me miss him alot

Many years ago I cleaned offices in down town Pittsburgh. In the early summer, when daylight begins about four thirty, I would sing this song while finishing my work, as I observed the sun rising over the city.

Am really overwhelmed with joy. I have been looking for the lyrics of this song and this special morning 09/04/22, my blind patient Ms Joy started humming it while I was in her room. I jumped to her and asked her to sing it out, I got the first line, went to youtube Waoh! I hv it. I started crying nd my joy knows no bounds.Thank u Lord Jesus, I luv this song. Uchechi

This was played at my Dad's funeral. We hadn't spoken for many years and just before he died we were re-united. I was so thankful that we had the chance to reconcile before he went home to the Lord. I chose 'Morning Has Broken' because it is about new beginnings and starting over.......Love you Dad.

I'm up early this morning watching the daybreak, it reminded me of this song and here I am listening to it with a smile on my face as I praise The Almighty God for His beautiful Creation. There is nothing more peaceful in the morning than to listen to this song and smelling the fresh morning dew with a cup a coffee while literally the birds sing. I will have a great day😊❤❤

I wonder how many folks realize how spiritual this song actually is. Always been one of my favorites

This song always reminds me of God's endless LOVE..

for my mum who is now legally blind so I sing to her every night before she goes to sleep and every morning so she can HEAR how I am and see MY DAY'S

You have made a wonderful selection. This song gives me a hope that there is always a better tomorrow.

Here March 2024 going through an illness after ending a long term toxic relationship~ reminding me to always put Jesus first. That’s where I find true love and solace.

Sounds like mom's radio in the kitchen growing up. Thank you for a lifetime of music

I love this song for so many reasons. In 1985 I became a Christian and had entered a women's Christ centered rehabilitation program in Garrison NY (The Walter Hoving Home). On Easter we were asked who wanted to go to the sunrise service on Bear Mt? I signed up. I never heard of a sunrise service let along been to one, so I was curious. (I didn't realize we had to get up before the sun ~ lol) We got up to the top of the mountain there were people already there and they were handing out hot chocolate, tea and coffee. The pastor asked everyone to be seated (it was an outdoor amphitheater). We were all silent as we looked at the beautiful view from the top of the mountain. The next thing I heard was this song coming out of the speakers as the sun began to rise, I was in tears everything was so serene and beautiful....You could feel the presence of God as the song played, the sun rose and the shadow of the cross that was positioned at the peak of the mountain fell upon us all. No one could speak....it was glorious.

Means much more to me now as an old man than it did as a young man. Such a soulful reflective hymn. Happy Easter.

Today is Palm Sunday April 2, 2023! My mom was born 1923 and now I have a beautiful granddaughter in 2023! We have hope and love in our lives! God put the Will to Live in our Hearts! Amen Jeremiah 29:11

Back in the 80s, this was our favorite song in the morning 🌄 💕 my parents play this song every morning to wake us up and in the 90s when my youngest brother was born this was my mom's favorite lullaby to my lil brother. And when I have my kids in 2016 & 2018 my mom sang this to my children to put them to sleep. Until now, my kids still love to hear this song 😊🎉 sweet memories etched in their hearts and so my mom's voice. She still hums this song when she's doing some stuff. 😊❤ 🎉

Listening June 2024 from Beautiful Bunbury Western Australia 🇦🇺 This was played at my 1st Wedding in the Church on the organ it was so lovely to walk down to met my Husband to be. 😊❤😊

It's Father's Day 2024. I've been thinking of this song all day. NEVER singing it out loud all day, just remembering how you loved it. And then here it popped on tonight! I miss you so, even though it's been eleven years since you passed. The BEST Dad ever. Thank you for giving me life and to Love and serve Jesus Christ. Happy Father's day, Dad

My Dad was a Special Ed teacher at Bruce Public School, Toronto, Canada. He played this every morning much to the delight of the students who sang along

I'm here in Grand Prairie Reginal hospital and this song kept ringing on my heart. I got up pened my blinds and found the song on RU-vid. This was a blessing to me.😊

I feel what cat is saying is thank you god for another day on this beautiful earth of yours 🙏 amen

In a city of Taiwan some 30 yrs ago, a young teenage boy fell in love with the song upon hearing it. Now he is already 48 yrs old and is loving it. This song rocks forever.

We need everyday to be spent with you Lord. Jesus has a way that He brings us the best days when We’re with him. Thank you dear Jesus for being with us.

PRAISE BE TO GOD OUR FATHER AND HIS BEAUTIFUL GLORIOUS CREATIONS🌻☀️🎤🎼

My dad had no time for music of that era, but one time he broke down in tears when he heard the touching piano accompaniment in this beautiful song. I never tire of it.

Who is listening in 2020 this great and inspiring song from Yusuf Islam cat stevens?

Had a glorious sunrise this morning...this song has been on my mind all day.

One of the most beautiful songs ever made. Without a doubt, this is GOD inspired. I still get goose bumps.

My second grade teacher played her guitar and sang this song to us every morning. I still love this song 40 years later.

Beautiful song great start of my day.thank you lord

It has long been one of my favorites. I graduated high school in 1975. At my wife's memorial service, today, with this song playing in the background, I compiled a slide show commemorating her life. The slides ran from her birth, childhood years, high school graduation, marriage and the birth of our first two daughters. Morning has Broken made a beautiful narrative to the beginning of life through the generations.

Its weird that I didn't know this was a worship song when I was growing up!! Now that I am Christian, I have added it to my iTunes list:)

This song makes me appreciate the new dawn of day,chirping birds and fresh flowers and green grass also I am still alive to enjoy all these beautiful creations which money cannot buy

This song meant so much to me when i was 20 and now that i'm 71 it means even more.

Listening while in quarantine. Be grateful for everything

My Mother passed away Five Years ago today .. She always loved this song by Cat Stevens ... My Tribute to her.

I just can't get enough of this beautiful melody 🥰

I was little when this came out, and thought (as a little kid) "Music cannot get better than this!" I woke up this morning after battling COVID and thought "my fever has broken!" then thought of this beautiful song. I've played it about 6 times already. I forgot how incredible it is.

Thank you dearest Cat Stevens for your beautiful song it has always brought me peace and taken away my pain and suffering,bless you always!!!

When this was first released and popular in the early 70s, I listened to it every morning on the radio as I got ready for school. Now, Alexa plays it for me first thing in the morning when no one else is up and my world is still quiet and peaceful. It's a beautiful way to start a day.

Probably the most uplifting song of all times

I remember my beloved Italian sister ---Sr. Giovanna De Zan, this is her alarm music every morning. Missing her

I noticed you uploaded this song Aug 13, 2012 - 7 years ago today. On July 5, 2012 my friend and I were caught in a horrible storm and she was killed. My past has always held a pretty tight grip on me, but after that happened it has tried to consume me. I have loved this song since I was a little girl and I was led to listen to it this morning with the lyrics. It spoke to my heart in a transformative way! It revealed the truth that my past is where hell lies and today is brand new and today I am brand new. I have nothing to glean or figure out or fix or overcome from the past because the past has been changed and transformed to this brand new day. I can rejoice and be glad in this day that the Lord has made. I can be of good cheer because Truth and Life are walking before me clearing my way. I can handle what comes my way today, because I have put down my useless should have list from yesterday. I can be open to being a part of and seeing Heaven at hand because me and this day are not the only ones that are brand new. Ye need only believe! I love that it has been 7 years. That represents Sabbath, Rest and Freedom to me. Thank you Rachel so much! Sweetly enough that was my friend’s name:)

It’s raining. It’s chilly. Years half over already ! 😊. 2.5 years. And my sons a free man 👨 😁✝️☝️🙏

One of the most beautiful ❤ songs ever written ❤

An extraordinary song with such beautiful lyrics! About the voice ...oh,God! ❤

Just set aside 10 minutes each morning to feed the birds @ dawn then listen to Morning Has Broken! ;)

Is a prayer make song. Nice message.

Mendengarkan lagu ini kita jadi harus lebih banyak bersyukur karena atas karunia-Nya kita masih diberi kenikmatan luar biasa dalam hidup kita... Yaitu bernafas dengan bebas dalam jasmani dan rohani yang sehat.... ❤

An amazing interpretation by Cat but please focus on the brilliance of Rick Wakeman on piano. A true virtuoso often overlooked

Thank you for this beautiful Song Lord. It brings back memories of my Sister who died so suddenly so young. It's beautiful knowing God always brings a new day. 💞🙏💞🙏

We sang this in school assembly each day in Dee Why Public (NSW, Australia) I just love it! I’m 66 yo and still loving it! ❤

One of my Dad's favorite songs. We played it at his funeral mass as he was being carried out of the church. I'm sure he was smiling down at it all! Rest in peace Dad. You taught us so much beautiful music that we will always remember.❤️

I always get up at sunrise... it's the optimistic time of the day..new potential. I often sing this song. It's like a prayer to me

Whenever I listen to this song, for some reason, it brings me hope for a better day with a better world. Really love this song. Thank you for posting this video.

The Lord brought this song to my mind this morning. He told me to play it. What a wonderful, peaceful song to start the day out with. Thank you Jesus and Cat Stevens. The children's choir is singing Oh Lord you're beautiful!

Even more beautiful today than when I first heard it decades ago.

This is the song I woke up and thought of after several stressful months and the day before I learned that I did not have cancer. I just feel so blessed and glad to be alive. Thank you Lord for all you've given me.

"Morning Has Broken" is a popular and well-known Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and is set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune known as "Bunessan" (it shares this tune with the 19th century Christmas Carol "Child in the Manger").The line "fresh from the world" in the original was "fresh from the Word" or Christ the Word of God the Creator, as in John 1:1-3.

"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".[1] It is often sung in children's services and in funeral services. English pop musician and folk singer Cat Stevens included a version on his album Teaser and the Firecat (1971). The song became identified with Stevens due to the popularity of this recording. It reached number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number one on the U.S. easy listening chart in 1972,[3] and number four on the Canadian RPM magazine charts.[4] In December 1977, Stevens converted to Islam[11] and adopted the name Yusuf Islam the following year. So, this beautiful song still from Christian influence not from Islam. So you can keep peace on your mind and heart.

Beautiful song to lift your soul n spirit our God is truly Majestic n wonderful He is the GREAT JEHOVAH, THE ALMIGHTY GOD ❤️ THANK YOU JESUS 🙏

I like to sing this praise every morning because all the creations are praising God the Creator at the dawn of each day... Amen!

No matter what Religion we are, One Great Creation by one God only. Thank God for letting us listen to this beautiful music of CAT STEVENS YUSUF!!!! A multireligious Song for all !!!!!!!! Reflect . We should be Grateful of everything we've had up to now !!!!! Inspiring words of Eleanor Farjeon .

I always have LOVED this song but never knew how LOVELY it really was until it was played by the organist as the opening song for the morning Mass at 7 AM. I got teary-eyed and had goosebumps. What a way to begin the day and Mass! 🥰😇

A beautiful and timeless ballad that can only be delivered so eloquently by a fella, a good soul like Cat Stevens.

I remember way back in grade school, my mom would always turn on the radio as our alarm in the morning and this is the song that the radio station would always play. So whenever I hear this song, it brings me back to that same morning.

This song is very memorable when my husband pass away 15 yrs ago, so this song is for my husband and i need to sing in starmaker😭

This is this beautiful song like it should be played ❤thank you😊

This was one of my Mom's favorites; always reminds me of her. She passed in 1986 from pancreatic cancer. Oddly enough, found this song's sheet music in our piano bench yesterday; Google music played it as a random selection this morning 😃 Well, Hi, Mom! Love you and miss you, dearly!! 😘🥰

One of the most heartwarming praise to our Holy Lord -thank you for your creation and for people who can sing and thank you from their hearts.

Why so many dislikes? This is a beautiful song!

May God bless you and your family and friends and I hope you are well and great to see you on the day and time Thanks 🆗 🙏 🙏 🙏

Amazing song. A tribute to Our Great maker. I can't get enough of it. Thanks Rachel.

I have always loved this beautiful song but never realized its religious nature. I am an atheist and still think this is one of the most exquisite pieces I've ever heard. (And, just FYI, Mozart's Requiem Mass is my favorite classical music.)

MORNING 🌄 HAS BROKEN... EMBRACE IT..LOVE THIS SONG..CAT STEVENS ,AMAZING..

This version is the best for me, Thanks your sharing!

We sung this at primary school in the early 70's, I loved it straight away, and to this day it makes me think of the positivities of a new day, thank you for uploading Rachel.

What a beautiful reminder of the amazing opportunities that every new day brings. We sang this in primary school in Tanzania every Friday. This was way back in the 70s

Marami Salamat! What a beautiful song! Mum used to plant me between the speakers and put on either Cat Stevens or Neil Diamond, and I would just sit there and bop until the record finished. She was grateful to them as babysitters :) Some old tunes are just so damn beautiful. This is one of them. Thanks for the lyrics. Moonshadow Peace Train Father and Son Another Saturday Night Do those too! Mahal Ko Kayong Lahat! As should everybody! Thanks for this!

Very chaffing it makes my day and reminds me of God beautiful and amazing creations

I just got diagnosed with lung cancer. I want this song at my memorial service. Just uplifting and joyful. And very spiritual
