Morning Has Broken
Sunrise celebration song
"Morning Has Broken" is a Christian hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931, set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune.
It became widely known through Cat Stevens's 1972 recording, which reached mainstream pop audiences.
The title captures the idea of morning "breaking" like dawn breaking over the horizon: Morning has broken like the first morning.
