He was born in Waenfelen, a cottage in Pentre Galar near Crymych, in the Preseli Hills of North Pembrokeshire, the third son of John Morris Davies and his wife Ann.
He attended Glandŵr Independent chapel, Llanfyrnach, where, influenced by the minister, O. R. Owen, he began preaching himself on Whit Sunday 1906.
R. Williams Parry praised his mastery of the Welsh strict metres; and in Llanelli he held classes in cynghanedd.
He wrote a number of hymns and was one of the editors of Caniedydd Cynulleidfaol (1960), the Welsh Independents' hymnbook.
