Now only if they sing these songs will I tune in, otherwise.....!!!

Morning 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 the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, 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
............................................................Class!!

and

The Lark in the Clear Air

Dear thoughts are in my mind
And my soul soars enchanted,
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day.
For a tender beaming smile
To my hope has been granted,
And tomorrow she shall hear
All my fond heart would say.

I shall tell her all my love,
All my soul's adoration,
And I think she will hear
And will not say me nay.
It is this that gives my soul
All its joyous elation,
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day
.....................................Childhood memories of that tune when getting up for school on a radio programme in the mornings!....Bliss!!

Both these songs can be found on YouTube being sung by Irelands most beautiful woman!...........Cara Dillon! (along with other Snuffy favs such as 'The Streets of Derry' sang with fellow Derryonian/Derryer/Derrywegian the great Paul Brady!).

Regards,
