By Request, ‘Morning Has Broken’
Requested by Ina: Morning Has Broken, sung by Cat Stevens. He has left the church, but the hymn is still here. He was not the only one who sang it.
Note: there is a typo in the printed lyrics. “Fresh from the world” should be “Fresh from the Word.”

Cat Stevens seems an odd choice to convey God’s message; but the Lord chooses whom He will; and if it ever happens to be you, rejoice!
Requested by our friend in Scotland, Ina: Morning Has Broken, sung by Cat Stevens. And with gorgeous photos to go with it!
