"Morning Has Broken" was not by Yusef, only an arrangement. The words are by Eleanor Farjeon 1881-1965 who was Christian, and wrote the words in 1931. And the melody was a Hymn Tune, "Bunessan" written by Mary McDonald 1789-1872, who was Scottish. Interesting that one of the most popular recordings by Yusef would be by 'two harlot apostates'.
I liked the song and felt bad that the performer turned so evil. But in my research, there are other non-Yusef recording not using his arrangement.

Bottom line, “Morning Has Broken” is a Scottish Presbyterian Hymn, performed by Yusef before he joined the Dark Side.

“...Mary McDonald 1789-1872, who was Scottish.”

Is THIS the originator of the “Rapture Theory”???!!!

And the piano part was played by Rick Wakeman.
