'Morning Has Broken' Pan Flute Performance From David Doring

Enjoy this heartfelt performance of ‘Morning Has Broken’ by Pan flutist David Doring. This beautiful hymn was originally published in 1931 but it truly rose to prominence after rocker Cat Stevens recorded his own rendition in the early 1970s.


“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 world”

David Döring is a self-taught Pan flutist. The instrument is a series of tubes, most typically made of bamboo or reeds and creates a truly remarkable sound. The pan flute is traditionally played in folk music throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Today, he is performing a special rendition of ‘Morning Has Broken’ and it is one performance you don’t want to miss.

” Sweet the rains 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”

You can commonly hear this hymn performed at funeral services as it reminds us to praise the Lord and find the good in each moment. And though we may be missing some here on Earth, we can find peace and comfort knowing that they are safe in the arms of the Lord.

Psalm 143:8 “Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.”
