"Morning Has Broken" 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.

English pop musician and folk singer Cat Stevens included a version on his 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat. The song became identified with Stevens due to the popularity of this recording. It reached number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number one on the U.S. easy listening chart in 1972, and number four on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts.

Writing credit for "Morning Has Broken" has occasionally been erroneously attributed to Cat Stevens,[6] who popularised the song abroad. The piano arrangement on Stevens' recording was composed and performed by Rick Wakeman, a classically trained keyboardist who would shortly join the English progressive rock band Yes.
