Featured on the classic 'Teaser and the Firecat' album, Morning Has Broken was adapted from a traditional hymn with words by Eleanor Farjeon. The song's message beautifully reflected Cat's growing spiritual awareness in the early 1970s; a sense of wonderment, awe and gratitude for the miracle of creation is expressed through praise for the coming of the new day. Cat arranged the song, giving it his own inimical sense of style and passion and invited Rick Wakeman of YES to record the now legendary piano part.

I used to listen to this in the seventies, but I understand it now. Love to all.
yes
Peace to you! I have a son who is extraordinary and happens to be nonspeaking. He is so much fun! Anyway, while I was cleaning the other day with my headphones over my ears, I walk into the kitchen while hearing your song “Morning has Broken”. I pulled off the headphones and placed them on my son’s ears during that beautiful piano interlude. His face just lit up! Cat Stephens continues to spread joy all over the globe! Sending big love from Vermont this evening. Love is all around us. 🌼🌼🌼
Born in saint johnsberry greetings 🖖 😊
Born in Taiwan greetings!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Good example! Thanks for sharing.
This song was written by a Christian lady called Eleanor Farjeon. Cat Stevens found the hymn and converted it to a song. All words written by Eleanor Farjeon. Birth 13th February 1881, died 5th June 1965
Also the original words where "fresh from the word" not "fresh from the world" They recently changed the lyrics.
A Nun.
@@emmacherry2093 THanks for mentioning that, that's how I heard it and have always sung it. Maybe an error in the script on the screen?
I am glads he brought this beautiful peaceful
song to our modern times. I can only
imagine hearing the original. That would have been nice as well.
She was a close friend of the wonderful poet Edward Thomas.
We chose this beautiful song, for our wedding. Listening now, just a few short months after my husband's passing, tears flowing down my cheeks. Timeless. .!
Your Husband, And Yourself Could Not Have Picked A Better Song. Rest In Peace. Peace To You, And Your Family.
GOD BLESS !!!!
He has never left you♡ Always with you. Your feeling of loss is understood and felt~
Would that tears of joy only turn to those of gratitude. Blessings to you as you have rendered you husband eternal...May the Almighty keep you both.
My husband and I chose this song for our wedding song as well. Cat has a beautiful soul.
I woke up today (Easter 2024) and the birds were singing and I had to listen to this song. Timeless and beautiful.
Happy Easter pal.
Woke up this morning with this song in my thoughts, had to come for a listen! ☮💜😇
Easter is of the devil come away from it
Always try to start my Sundays with this gift of a song.
Cat must have been inspired by GOD to write such heavenly music for this timeless hymn.
Loved everything he did.
I'm praying for 1pm
Let's not forget the stunning job Rick Wakeman did on the piano
Good to know (I never would have guessed)!
Not only played but created the arrangement.
What ?! Why haven’t I heard this before? Thank you for that. It’s beautiful
@@krisg3984 The record label didn't give him his credits.
@@greentriumph1643 -- Huuuuuge, Maestro Wakeman......BRAVO from Mexico City!
Praise with elation, praise every morning, God's re-creation of the new day. Universal and utterly beautiful. This song brings me to tears.
🫂
YES!!❤ special meaning this mornin on the occasion of my little kitten on his way to the rainbow bridge in heaven! ❤
I'm in tears also because of the beauty that God inspired her to write
Me too
One of my very 1st favorite of all time.❤
This song gets to everytime. Since I was a teenager. And that's a long time ..
This song still brings tears to my eyes over 40 years later, and I am overjoyed that Cat Stevens reappeared on the music scene! I have no doubt his songs have helped others on their spiritual path, as the songs helped me with mine. Spread the word, Cat!
It's just a truly beautiful song!
Totally agree. Does the same to me when I hear and read the words again.
A great man & a cool 😎 cat
I’m Gen X, so I didn’t grow up with Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, but his songs indeed inspired me spiritually
He has been my angel and guide with his songs for over 50 years. I am forever thankful and grateful for his LOVE for All humanity. I will always LOVE him. ❤
One of the most peaceful songs I've ever heard.
Love from mother father of all creation humanity's parents who is incarnate in the physical. Please call home, God is using messenger. We await you home = joyrains. ❤Luna
Agree 100%
Songs like this is what made the 1970s such a beautiful magical decade for REAL beautiful music... born in 1965 and it's my favorite decade for music.
No music betters that from the 1960's and 1970's.
@@ndhan72 IMO I'd say 50s 60s 70s 80s and thats it.
Born in 57 and you are 100% right, the seventies were the best years for music
I was also born in 1965!!! 70s was the best era for music!!!
Is a complete tragedy. This man could’ve been raised a Christian/Catholic but someone interrupted him and made him into Muslim. God was not happy with that
I always like to sing in the morning. It really ligthen my day. Thank you Lord for every blessed Morning.
Amen.....tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.
So true, thus we need to cherish all the time we can spend with our loved ones.@@kmo2959
I'm not religious but i sing every morning for the same reason. If you can find the correct music to accompany your moment, you keep your momentum and the beauty of small things stays with you.
Especially on a day off 😊
Thanks God for a beautiful morning. ❤I Love You Lord.❤
This song is PURE SPIRIT!!! I fell in love with it when it first came out. Now I'm 77 years old + it's nearly brought me to tears each time I've listened to it! Am celebrating the PURE LOVING that each Soul IS + for Yosuf/Cat Stevens 🌠💫💞💫🌠
My hope is that we can all celebrate our faith together as one,
We need to get together as brothers and sisters.
We can...I get I think you to do!😅
Come on stick together family and we have a beautiful loving songs everyday .
We gathered all today in the Christian meeting around the world with the same mind my sister; count with me.
We played this at my sister’s funeral. Just sounds like a description of heaven!!
We sang it at my grandma's funeral (her choice) right after Thanksgiving. I kept thinking "this seems so familiar, but I don't remember singing it in church..."
It just clicked that this is where I knew it from! My condolences to your family on the loss of your sister. ❤
Rip❤
There is no heaven..sorry for your loss.
@@KerrMarrin-vn1kv God Bless your Spiteful Soul.
@@KerrMarrin-vn1kv nobody alive known the truth about heaven...
My wife walked down the aisle to this 34 years ago. She’s gone now but this song brings her back. Love you Kelly
🙏🥹💖
I also had this song at my wedding, it was the only request I had to my wife.
Noone ever goes anywhere, they are always here with us and we with them. God bless.
I think it may be the most beautiful song ever written. The words and music are perfect and anyone can sing it.
Yes for those to be good Stewards now of God's re-Creation. Cat knew for sure
“ Where His feet pass” I can imagine God walking in Eden that day walking on the grass with dew and the birds singing beautiful flowers such a visual delights my soul ❤😊
For me one of the most beautiful songs ever 💛
Not just for you. For everyone. Yusuf is a legend.
@@nirmalsuki it is a Christian song
It's a psalm from the bible. 1000s of years old.
@@stevemilton9100 Which one?
I love it, very nice meditation song 👍🇯🇲
His voice as gentle as rain and as sweet as the first morning, beautiful video. When I hear this song it is like a prayer to me. 💛
I sing this song to my grands. It is so very beautiful.
It IS a prayer praising God
Yusuf Islam
Love from mother father of all creation humanity's parents who is incarnate in the physical. Please call home, God is using messenger. We await you home = joyrains. ❤Luna
It is a prayer
A song for every day 2024. a beautiful awesome song, y'all have a great day.

I love this song. It transports me back to my grandmother’s home in Tennessee. I can see me and her sitting on the porch early in the morning and see the dew covered grass shine in the morning sunlight and smell the sweetness of the fruit trees that surrounded the right side of the house. I’d watch the school bus pick up the older kids on the road and my uncles to take them to the black school several miles away, even though there was a white school just down the way. 😢 But we were happy. Happy every morning, enjoying each new day.
That sounds beautiful but not much sunlight at the moment here in Wales UK though only rain loads of it
Beautiful memories
Sang this in today’s Liturgy of the Hours. Beautiful rendition. To God be the glory, thank you God for this day.
AMEN!
Yes all Glory to God. Amen
Lovely Yusuf. Absolutely lovely. You are my wife's favorite singer/song writer of all time. I bought the 50th Anniversary Teaser and the Firecat box set for her and she loved it so much that she cried. Your songs bring back so many memories for both of us. When we met in 1978, we used to sit and listen to your music for hours. Now, after 43 years together, we still love to listen to it. Thank you so very much for bringing such joy to the world.
🕊 Yusuf is a blessing 🙏Aameen ☝
so nice....
Congrats on 43 years of wedded bliss.
He has given me such listening pleasure and emotional solace since I was 10 when this was first released. He is heavenly!
Des wonderfulLove
We sang this beautiful song when I was in choir, 7th grade, I'm 61❤💛
🕊 A vintage age I say 👍
Me too. I’m 62. It’s timeless - still as fresh today as it was then. 👍🏼🙂
46 here. Cross legged at school Assembly in the UK. We used to sing hymns and so on but this was different. Even at 5 I knew this was purer than the hymns.
We sang this in a choir performance also.
I was 10 years old.
Now,
I'm quite a bit wiser.
And my love for music
Just keeps on growing..
Like a blooming flower
Within the Garden of life.
Born in 1963.. 🤗
My Great G*Mamma
Called it "plenty 9" ❤
We sang this song in my 6th grade choir. Loved it ever since. ♥️ We had good teachers, didn't we? 😁
No Matter what religion or gods you believe in .... this is a magnificient song of humanity and life and love ... and warmth ... such a wonderful Jusuf Cat Stevens .... so misunderstood years back until all humanity listens to his words
🙏🌷♥️🌷🙏
Amen
This is a christian hymn. What gods are you talking about?
Islam!@@quinty26
They are not his words! He didn't even arrange the piano piece and refused to give credit for 15 years.
no matter how crap your morning is, hearing this song will make it better -> ALWAYS! ❤❤👍👍
Loving Cat Stevens in 2024!
Same here 👍🏼
Me too! His songs are timeless.💜🎶💜
This is such a beautiful song. These are memories with a lot of love and peace in life.
Brings back memories.
They played this on loudspeaker to wake us up in summer camp (early 70s). Brilliant memories!
This hymn at the time
reminds me of how innocent we all were as children.
I was in the school choir and I remember
our teacher telling us
NOT to jumble the words; but sing slow and softly.
The song just Transport me to a better time and place.
Song, just beautiful.
@@mJoN3s-w6l memories of innocence
Just absolutely beautiful,,,,,,,,,, ,,made me cry ,,I m 68 years old,male ,haven't heard that song for over 40 years, brought back so many memories,, God bless,
Yes I agree ,I am 62 and it had the same effect on me, I think it's because it speaks of God.
This song deserves to be in every hymn book.
The birds are singing outside my window this early morning during my prayer time. Reminded me of this song and glad to find it. Thank you for posting this. God bless🙌🙏
Chose this for my wife,s funeral in 2012 . she passed away suddenly before her time. Lovely recording❤
God Bless you xx
So sorry. Hearbreaking. Cant even imagine your pain. God Bless and bring you peace.
❤😢❤😢
So sorry God's Blessings on you
Sweet gesture!
I am posting this as my Song of the Day. Today is my 70th birthday which I share with the first day of Passover, Good Friday and Ramadan. All of this to say, these auspicious days filled with ritual are designed, in my opinion, to help us remember to resurrect ourselves to be the very best we can be. My personal goal is to do my very best to be a better person. To have gratitude each day for all that I do have, not what I am lacking. And to live with love in my heart for all beings. This is what Cat wrote about decades ago and what he as Yusuf continues to share with us. Have a blessed day. D🕊
Thank you for your kind and inspiring words.
❤️❤️❤️
Have been 😊playing Yusufs song every morning since seeing a black bird come sit under my deck Such emotions brought up This is my favourite song /video & singer 🎼🎸🙌🥰🗣️✝️ God Bless RIP
Happy 71th birth day!
Happy 71st BIrthday Donna 🎂🎁🎉🎈🌸✝️🙏 God Bless you & keep you Safe
One of THE most beautifully crafted songs ever--the lyrics, the arrangement, and that voice! There are terribly few songs that are so perfect in every way.
Its the work of Farjeon really.
@@rhodiusscrolls3080 --But that's not who put the music & voice to it. Many of our most remembered & well done songs were written by someone else, in EVERY genre.
Eric Russel: Thank you, well said and I agree. 💛
@@loritracy1385 its a minor point but who is responsible for Lieder..is it Schubert or Thomas Mueller. Is it Hubert Parry or William Blake that make Jerusalem a good hymn? The man who made Morning has Broken a pop song joined Islam which bans music from religion. Its all horses for courses as the saying goes. Hymns are getting worse not better but thats another issue.
and that piano!
Through their beautiful & inspiring songs, Cat Stevens & The Moody Blues helped me find my path. I am forever grateful to both; thank you!
❤
Me too
Moody Blues is my favorite band of all!!
Its a very beautiful song with a genius piano arr by Rick Wakeman
This has become my morning song of gratitude.❤
So glad Cat’s music is again in the public square. A true talent, woefully under appreciated.
He is fully appreciated by millions of people around the world especially his fans but also the media also for his philanthropy & by the Rock n roll hall of fame but most importantly the maker from whom his calling comes 🙏Insha'Allah👑 ☝
@@simonedgbaston Allah is b.s.
I agree. I always got the impression he had otherworldly values instead of worldly ambition.
🙏🌷♥️🌷🙏
This song is a breath of fresh air in this rotten world.
Indeed!😊
This world appears to You. Only God’s Love Is.
God bless to those who know, god bless to those who seek to understand. Keep searching for the peace love and understanding, that you fight for ever day. May peace, love and understanding be your life. God bless !
Console for the soul is in faith
Faith is for the soul to console
Believe completely in the faith
To completely console the soul
For the faith is a soul is console
Always a great and loving song of God‘s creation! Beautifully sung by Cat Stevens! I have been listening and singing this song for many years! Thank you!
I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school mid 70's. This song was sung over and over and over throughout the 1970's during Mass. Brings back so many memories...thank you for the song...
It's an Anglican import...they have some very beautiful hymns
Same here...worked for the nuns and that was a favorite along with " Bridge over troubled waters" .
LoL. Jazz mazz. Beginning of the fall....
Heard/sang it at Mass today.
...Also at Waldorf School. Very frequently played/sung. Great message to instill in children!
Just sent it to my beautiful friend getting married today...to start her day with the most beautiful song in the world, ❤
they do not make music like this anymore, which is so sad , so I have to return again and again to the olden days to hear something sublime like this.
Yes you are so right but as long as you have it to listen to it will live in our heart forever❤❤❤
@@kennethcarroll787 Yes!! ♥️
Used to sing this everyday during school assembly, 30 something years later still touches me ❤
Whoever created this video is an artist worthy of Cat himself. Well done!
I was born in 1972. My earliest memory of music is waking each morning to my mother singing this song to wake my brother and I.
same 1972
What a beautiful memory to have!
Oh glory to God forever! Thank you for the morning Lord 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏
Everyday is a blessing!
This song will always bring tears to my eyes and remind me of all the other wonderful songs from the 70's!
Love ,love simplicity of the soul ,of love ! 🤗
Growing up in our Presbyterian Church in East Tennessee we used to sing this from our hymnal. I love this song.
Elizabethton?
Jonesboro, Tennessee Jonesboro, Presbyterian Church, one of my favorite songs
This song speaks to my soul. I love it so much. Thank God for your spirit and talent!
🙏Alhamdulillah👑 indeed ☝
This song holds emotional memories for me when I was in the Junior school in the UK we would sing it in the school assembly, before we started our lessons. I miss those days🙏🏾💕
Same here❤
Oh wow, memory unlocked. The pure happiness of just being present, enjoying the singing without a care in the world 😊Thank you ❤
I heard this in church when I was a child.
It's beautiful.
😢
Thank you Yousuf, Thank you Cat. Whatever your name or religion may be, you are God's wonderful creation.... Your Music takes me back to a different time, a different world.....
Right on brother…I agree! Music transcends all time and unites all religions!
🙏🌷♥️🌷🙏
I remember this song on the TV when I was in the 4th grade 🤣 n class. It was the video. I'm 55 now and still love it to this day. Cat Stevens is a great song writer
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 dew fall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His 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
in this version, the word "word" has been changed to "world".
Wonderful lyrics. I never really thought about all those internal rhymes. They make the song so "coherent".

My heart is feeling
So sorry for your loss. Beautiful song
When my Father passed, my elder Sister insisted playing this song.
A great message, for a great Men, by a great artist.
I have always loved this song. I love waking in the early morning and hearing all the birds just singing praises to God every morning...always have thought like that even before this beautiful song came out saying the same thing....
What a beautiful comment! You seem young. You are blessed !
@@sarahhopeful6683 thank you, but I'm far from young anymore. Lol...
@@Jomama02 You are young at heart 🙂for sure!
Brilliant.... and Rick Wakeman’s piano accompaniment is incredible !!
Not mentioned nearly enough
wdym rick wakeman is probably known as the best keyboardist in the rock and modern music tho@@cathyspinelli9541
This was the song we sang in church at my son's baptism! It feels like it makes my heart smile!🤗😇🇮🇪☮
I don't know why but when Yusuf/Cat Stevens sings this song my heart breaks and I just burst into tears. 💐
THE CAT BROUGHT OUT THE SPIRIT IN THIS SONG.THIER IS A GOD OF ALL CREATION. AMEN.
Always has been………and always will be my favourite Cat Stevens song! Thank you Yusuf!!♥️♥️♥️
When he was younger, the Cat was one of the most beautiful men who ever lived. I just had to say that!!!
And still is
This song is more relevant than ever right now.
Peace and love really is the only way to go
My motheres favorite song used at her funeral, March 2020
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Canzone intramontabile che suscita sempre le stesse emozioni... Anche a distanza di tanti anni... 😻❤️🌹
vero la penso allo stesso modo
Anche io amo molto le canzoni di Cat Stevens, grande cantautore e voce splendida!! Che bei ricordi!!
Yes he's singing of ❤ I pray 🙏 so
Love his voice so gentle & caring ! I hear his soul singing ! ♥️♥️♥️🎵🎶🎼
Love this 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ty 2 all God bless u all🎉 in Yeshua's name amen
Another fine example of the music in the 1970's. No other decade when it comes to music could out match or outdo the 1970's.
Cat stevens was something,god only made one!!!
If I play this song every morning, surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Selah
Also read the Psalms. So healing and pure.
Surely it shall be so, by Grace of God❤🙏🏼
Psalm 23
Just had a vivid memory of my mother singing this to me to help me get out of bed in the winter when we couldn't afford electricity... she would build a fire and put my clothes near it, to make them warm, and slip them on my body under the covers, singing this the whole time.
Beautiful memory
Makes me think of my mother too!
No electricity ?And this was where?
@Mabs Yusuf and by "winter " I just mean "cold by my standards". Lived my whole life in florida, so I have no basis for comparison but im sure it's nowhere near as cold as it can get in other places. Though we'd have freezes they would make the ground crunchy with ice, it would never last the day.
Such a Beautiful and Peaceful Song. Reminds me of my childhood and being in Primary School, we sang this in Assembly every morning 😊❤
Did you go to Play pen?
Yesterday was 45 anniversary of Play Pen
I grew up with Cat. Big hero when I was in my teens and early 20's. Played his music often, so glad to see him at Glasto on TV.
A Beauty. Still listening this wonderfull song, september 2024
I recently, at 60+ yrs old, made it out on the beach before sunrise for the first time in my life. This, to me, was a miracle in itself as I am a night owl! It transformed my spirit a d so much more! I searched for so songs about the morning and this came up. Love the piano! Could also be played at a funeral. Classic song of life and different seasons!
Beautiful song. Beautiful voice. Beautiful piano with an acoustic guitar. Cat Stevens is one of the best songwriter and best singer of the folk pop music for ever.
Yes, LORD I OFFER ALL And left i up tgat may have New Beginnings to be,Amen❤
The one and only Rick Wakeman on piano.
At my first daughter’s wedding reception this song was chosen for the bride and groom dance. It is the song loved by all of us.
This has got to be one of the greatest songs ever written. And I'm a Zeppelin fan
Thank God
He's back 👏👏👏👏
I Love Cat Stevens ❤
WE Love Cat Stevens ❤❤❤❤❤
Che bellaaaaa❤❤❤❤ lui delizioso voce dolcissima sembra di stare tra le nuvole e infonde un senso di pace assoluta Grande Cat👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
Morning has Broken. What a beautiful song. I have always loved it ❤️
Someone just sent me this

I love this song since primary school. It speaks to my spirit every day. Thank you Eleanor for the lyrics and thank you Cat Steven for the music.
This song was played at my grandmas funeral, I still miss her
I am sure that was a great choice!
@@jacquelinedavis6607 was her favourite song
And beautiful piano
Played by Rick Wakeman
What a legend , a legend that will never die
This is sung at the beginning of Mass sometimes. And everybody sings and sways to it. It's just a wonderful lovely piece. He was a genius.
He truly is.
HE DIDN'T WRITE IT.
No he didn't....but maybe a pop Mohammedist singer was needed to bring an English Anglican hymn into the Catholic missal.
@@STho205 thanks for the unasked for lesson. And it's missal.
@@marthachristian7782 you're quite welcome.
My mom taught me to listen, to enjoy and yo enlight myself with Cat Stevens' music since I was born!! We love you Cat Stevens!!
I fell in love with this song when I was 15 years old. Until now I'm 52 still this song I love to hear every morning when I wake up. It refreshes my soul.❤
My song of Praise to GOD up in Heaven.
One of the best songs ever.
