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

Morning Has Broken
Eleanor Farjeon, UK, 1881-1965

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's 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

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

If you look at the lyrics this could also be sung by someone Jewish… Like this
Neil Diamond

Thanks for posting i thot so as well but when you look it up there is no mention of that. and for some reason i always think he did the “wreck of the edmond fitzgerald” but that was gordon lightfoot. so i got to hear that again as part of this thred.
