More about Morning has broken, blackbird has spoken...

"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!" I know this as a Cat Stevens song from 1972 and I rearranged the final words just slightly in my prompt. It actually 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". It is often sung in children's services and in funeral services and is among the hymns suggested as wedding music.
