My cousin [ten months younger] had this record when we were little in the 50's. We played/sang it over and over again. The tune/words are stuck deep in my brain so every so often I find myself singing it. I never knew the title or anything else about it. The record was the "lost child version" that goes from "and evermore shall be so" through the song to "and never more shall be so" at the end.
I can't wait to see my cousin to tell her that I solved our mystery.   Thanks to all that contributed to the string.
