I heard John sing on A&O Celtic music when Lyle Skinner played music for seniors, and I fell in love with his voice, I have been playing the beautiful Christmas song "Christmas Memories" for some time. You have a beautiful voice and I will play your songs as long as I have ears to hear.
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 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 ev'ry morning God's recreation of the new day Morning has broken
Beatyful songs and beautyful voice. See in conection with waltzing Matilda by the same artist. Then you grasp the hope for a new world without such horror.
Sorry, Mirgil1964 but Cat Stevens did not write this song The tune is a traditional Gaelic melody which Mary M. MacDonald used for the words of her hymn “Leanabh an àigh (Child in a Manger)” “Morning has Broken” was later written by Eleanor Farjeon to the same tune. Cat Stevens can only claim credit for his arrangement and making the song popular. Lovely song and beautifully sung by John McDermott
Such a pure voice for a man. Live in Toronto for over 12 years, never heard of him before, what a shame. Should have much more views.
Beautiful greeting to the morning 🌞
whay a beautiful way to brgin a 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 them 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 ev'ry morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken
One of my favorite hymns. Thank you very much.

Did Cat Stevens ever come to his senses and renounce whatever it was he switched to way back when?
alan4sure No, he did not.
