From the citation, it appears that the lyrics were composed between
1944-1960, most likely 1957, well after his conversion.
However I have not read the article. Am I mistaken in my belief that his
hymn was meant to be sung with tongue planted firmly in cheek? Had Lewis
accepted the tenets of evolution?

Was this hymn written before or after Lewis became a Christian?
