Hi, John - Sing Out!did have the song, v.35#1 ... p.42. My collection doesn't go back that far. Does anybody have that issue, and can you post what they say about the song? -Joe Offer- From Joe Offer, 29 May 2017: Generous souls have helped me to almost complete my Sing Out! collection. Here are the lyrics from v.35#1 ... p.42. Except for punctuation, they are exactly the same as what's in the Digital Tradition.
TIME HAS MADE A CHANGE IN ME (Harkins Freye)
Time has made a change since my childhood days; Many of my friends have gone away. Some I never more in this life will see. Time has made a change in me.
CHORUS: Time has made a change in the old home place; Time has made a change in each smiling face. And I know my friends can plainly see Time has made a change in me.
In my childhood days, I was well and strong; I could climb the hillside all day long. I am not today what I used to be. Time has made a change in me.
When I reach my home in that land somewhere, With my friends who wait to meet me over there, Free from pain and care I'll forever be. Time has made a change in me.
Transcribed from the singing of Peter and Mary Alice Amidon. The song was written by Harkins Freye, a West Virginia native who wrote and published gospel music in the 1920s.
