Born in Pen-y-groes in Carmarthenshire, Morgan began preaching at an early age in the Baptist church in nearby Llandybie. He was subsequently ordained and attached to a parish in Pisgah. During this time, he became active in Plaid Cymru, and stood unsuccessfully for the party in Llanelli at the 1950, 1951, 1955 and 1959 United Kingdom general elections.
He also edited the party newspaper, Y Ddraig Goch.

Morgan was also an active pacifist, and served as secretary of the Welsh Peace Society. He was the first secretary of the Welsh Hymn Society.
