Stlt#38, 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 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 God’s 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!

Stlt#410, Surprised By Joy

Surprised by joy no song can tell, no thought can compass, here we stand

to celebrate eternal love, to reach for one another’s hand.

Beyond all other gifts is this, best gift, alone to mortals given;

the love of parent, lover, friend attunes our hearts to bliss of heaven.

Faith, hope, and love here come alive; life’s deepest treasure is made known when in

forgiving, giving all, insep’rably, two are as one.
