GUEST, Squeaky (Who ARE you? How do you know which Sacred Harp ed. I have???I mean, that is the one I have, so I am curious!) In my 1991 edition, 284 is "My span of life will soon be gone"- nothing very gardeny-y about it!
I'm pulling together a chorus season and have never had this much trouble finding songs. I hope to settle on one or another of y'all's sugestions- thanks!
