Ol’ Cat Stevens gave up music for Islam.

Looks like he’s reneged on that pledge.

A wonderful tune to a wonderful song “Morning has Broken,” was merely a tune overlaid atop what I’m sure were 19th century Anglican church lyrics. They sound 19th century. (So: Even that wasn’t original.)

Actually, both tune and words predate Cat Stevens, and yes it is a hymnal song, although I don’t know when it was first written.

You know it could be a knock off!
