Originally this was a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune "Bunessan".
With words by English author Eleanor Farjeon published in 1931, it became a Christian hymn "Morning Has Broken".
English pop musician and folk singer Cat Stevens included a version on his album Teaser and the Firecat (1971) and it was a big hit.
I play 12-string guitar and plectrum banjo.
All the rest is made at my home with virtual instruments, Band in a Box and Reaper.
P.S. The picture is from our summer cottage by the lake in Finland taken by me.
