Talk:Morning Has Broken

message: (1) ...fresh from the "word" or "world" ?
At the end of the first verse "Praise for the springing fresh from the word" 
sounds like an allusion to "In the beginning was the word" (John 1:1), in turn alluding back to the creation story in Genesis.
On the other hand, I have seen about 1 in 3 versions of the lyrics on the web  read: "Praise for the springing fresh from the world" so I am not sure which is the original version.  I think Cat Steven's sang "word" .
:In the <I>Hymnal 1982</I> (Episcopal Church in the USA) it reads "fresh from the word". I would guess this to be the original.Rockhopper10r 17:27, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

text: Correct, it's "word" that he sings, in the printed lyrics on the album sleeve. Vera, Chuck & Dave 16:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: reference

message: Is there a reference for the statement that 'The English-language Roman Catholic hymnal also uses the tune for the hymn "This Day God Gives Me".'? I found a recording of a song called "This day god gives me" by David Haas. There are some similarities in rythm, melody and harmonics, but the tune is not "Morning has broken". --gnirre (talk) 04:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The hymn is played in the 9/4 time signature. But it has a 3/4 feel.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.210.166 (talk) 18:56, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Time Signature 

message: I know it is common in many Catholic Seminaries to (as the hymn is included in the American 1975 Liturgy of the Hours) to sing the first line "Morning is broken, somebody fix it!" Should mention be made of it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gideon.judges7 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I learned that version long before listening to the original all the way through:
Morning has broken,
Call the repairman,
Tell him to fix it
Before the sky falls;
If he don't get here,
We're in big trouble,
You know how repairmen
Answer their calls.

message: It might be interesting to list some translations of the lyrics.  Nana Mouskouri sings this one in German.   She has nice performance of it on Youtube and others perform that translation as well.  173.228.123.121 (talk) 05:18, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
