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 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
Praise with elation, praise every morning, God's re-creation of the new day. Universal and utterly beautiful. This song brings me to tears.
This song is a breath of fresh air in this rotten world.
Indeed!😊
This world appears to You. Only God’s Love Is.
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 am 83 years old..whenever i listen to this song ,my eyes become wet with tears..it touches my soul...
Me too!
Same here.❤️
Me too!

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.
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!
THE CAT BROUGHT OUT THE SPIRIT IN THIS SONG.THIER IS A GOD OF ALL CREATION. AMEN.
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. 🌼🌼🌼
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%
Loving Cat Stevens in 2024!
Same here 👍🏼
Me too! His songs are timeless.💜🎶💜
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!!
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
no matter how crap your morning is, hearing this song will make it better -> ALWAYS! ❤❤👍👍
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...
Sang this in today’s Liturgy of the Hours. Beautiful rendition. To God be the glory, thank you God for this day.
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
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
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.
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
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. ❤
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
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 😊
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!!!
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
This takes me back to when I was sweet sixteen, living on my own in a little 100 year old cabin in the woods....Waking up with the acoustic strings and familiar voice of Cat, hazy sunbeams shining through the bubbly glass windows, glistening green grass, crickets handing over the singing to the birds, milky chamomile cupped in my hands and a sleepy smile on my face 🌄 Thank you Yusuf💕
🕊 Sounds great 👍
What a wonderful loving and cosy experience you transfer to the mind as described in such a graphic way, to be cherished and to be thankful to your creator for it.
When you wake up in the morning with the early sun and your girlfriend or wife beside you in bed you can't get a better morning on this planet.
Sounds divine, thanks for sharing that beautiful memory with the world 😊
Nicely written comment
My wife walked down the aisle to this 34 years ago. She’s gone now but this song brings her back. Love you Kelly
🙏🥹💖
My absolute favorite! I love him.
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.
The first time I heard this song I thought it was the perfect prayer.
It is a wonderful song. Cat Stevens believed in the words. Thankfulness, and graciousness. As we should honor God. When he lived here and saw how we act as Christians on Sunday but heathen. He found that in the Muslim belief people were more gracious to God and devoted by daily prayers.
Carried this song in my heart since a young age ❤
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.
🙏🌷♥️🌷🙏
Reminds me of how Gods mercy is new every morning, adds a spring to your step when considering all His Grace is there freely.
Lmissing. Youhon?
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.
Just sent it to my beautiful friend getting married today...to start her day with the most beautiful song in the world, ❤
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
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? 😁
Growing up in our Presbyterian Church in East Tennessee we used to sing this from our hymnal. I love this song.
Elizabethton?
This beautiful hymn was sung at Rosalynn Carter's funeral today in Plains, Georgia. ❤
Lovely
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
I told my wife to play this song at my funeral. Hopefully years from now, but this song just calls to me.
I'm thinking about this too, at mine.
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❤
Ditto
Oh wow, memory unlocked. The pure happiness of just being present, enjoying the singing without a care in the world 😊Thank you ❤
Morning has Broken. What a beautiful song. I have always loved it ❤️
Someone just sent me this
Yes , beautiful
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 👍🇯🇲
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.
@@maria_jones67gmail memories of innocence
This song will always bring tears to my eyes and remind me of all the other wonderful songs from the 70's!
Oh glory to God forever! Thank you for the morning Lord 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏
Everyday is a blessing!
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.
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!
When i was in seminary we always sang this song in our morning prayer way back 2006,,Glory and Praise to our God JesusChrist in the Highest
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.
This song speaks to my soul. I love it so much. Thank God for your spirit and talent!
🙏Alhamdulillah👑 indeed ☝
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.
This was my beloved mother’s favourite hymn and she loved this version of it. It always reminds me of her when I hear it. God rest you mum. I really miss you. ❤🌹💕
Das ist ein wunderschöner Song, den ich immer wieder gerne höre.Es ist die Erinnerung an eine schöne Zeit. Danke.❤❤❤
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!
I start my day with this masterpiece, God bless you sir
🙏Aameen ☝
Amen 🙏😇
Masterpiece sums it up no doubt 💯
My aunt Teresa loved this song! 😍
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 had this song played at my wedding over 40 years ago. Beautiful, still brings a tear to my eyes.
The man, the genius, and the philosopher.
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".

One of the few songs that gives me gossebumps. I'm 50 years old and have always loved 70s music but this is one of my favorites. Wild World and Oh Very Young are beautiful too.
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
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!
My mother died this morning. She loved this song. ❤
And that love will continue within you my brother ❤
Rest in peace ! 🙏
A big virtual hug to you.
@@chasidychasidy9225 thank you, that's really kind of you.

I remember this song 🎵 from the 70s ❤

Boyzone made a fortune out of Cat Stevens songs.
Always has been………and always will be my favourite Cat Stevens song! Thank you Yusuf!!♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful. When I was at primary school, long ago now, we sang this wonderful song every morning in assembly. Thank you for sharing, a highly emotion song for me.
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!
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!!
Praise for the sweetest voice to bless us with his songs🦋✌🏻🌝
🙏Subhan'Allah👑 ☝
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
I remember as a teenager hearing cats music . So pleasent and good for the heart. No hate. Joy.🤭🤭 Good to have him back.
I don't know why but when Yusuf/Cat Stevens sings this song my heart breaks and I just burst into tears. 💐
When my Father passed, my elder Sister insisted playing this song.
A great message, for a great Men, by a great artist.
I heard this in church when I was a child.
It's beautiful.
😢
Thank God
He's back 👏👏👏👏
I Love Cat Stevens ❤
WE Love Cat Stevens ❤❤❤❤❤
This song ❤❤❤ always makes me goosebumps.. peace for everything 🌹
contrast this song with western warmongering/disregard for human life. i love this song. makes western warmongering all the more disgusting
And beautiful piano
Played by Rick Wakeman
Ok Matthew and son is my favourite song. I'm watching a little kitten at the mo. BB. She is super cute ❤❤❤
Watched the curtain draw across my father last year to this. This song doesn't fill song my heart with sadness but only happiness ❤
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
One of the best songs ever.
Just woke up with this song in my head, very peaceful morning
My English teacher at secondary school started almost all of his lessons with this song. I am 55 now, And I forgot his first name, But his family name I didn't forget (Heenen). It was really nice to start very lesson with this relaxing song. Even I wether am atheist today.
Love his voice so gentle & caring ! I hear his soul singing ! ♥️♥️♥️🎵🎶🎼
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
It’s not God’s world that is rotten,it’s some of the humans in it.peace and blessings,Blessings 🇧🇧❤️
❤❤❤One of my most favorite songs ❤❤❤ had no idea it was written by a Christian lady. Makes total sense. Praise God of Genesis.
I am a Christian and that makes it even more of a special song to me❤
It was magical, I couldn't move while watching, just smiled the whole time
Same with me. I was 14 when I first heard his music (some 46 years ago !!), watched Harold and Maud which I saw later as a theatre play in Paris (but his music was missing 😉) and i have been a fan ever since, rediscovering his music both through a song with some Greek lyrics and as he was on stage in Paris. I knew ALL the songs by heart after all those years and was completely frantic. An incredibly moving moment for me. 💕👍👍👍
Love it! I grew up loving Cat Stevens’ music and still do.
I love that song so much
God Bless you Yusaf! I remember singing this in an Episcopal Church in the late 60's. This song has such emotional impact since I had issues with my dad too... It was not until just before 1985 he died that I could accept that life is sometimes cruel but, it can have a purpose to awaken your faith and vision of Gods Grace.
My favorite praise song from Cat Stevens since early 70's!, my teenage years! (really 'never tired hearing this song over and over again)
I ve always loved you as singer song writer ! ❤️😍I always will ❤️😻
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.
Gorgeous song reminding me of heaven
This Christian hymn is so lovely, and uplifting. It is found in many hymnals, and Mr Stevens sang this superbly.
Forgot how the words make you feel blest we have all this ,
