C
There are loved ones in the glory,
F C
Whose dear forms you often miss;
Am
When you close your earthly story,
C G C
Will you join them in their bliss?
C
Will the circle be unbroken
F C
By and by, by and by?
Am
Is a better home awaiting
C G C
In the sky, in the sky?
C
In the joyous days of childhood,
F C
Oft they told of wondrous love,
Am
Pointed to the dying Saviour;
C G C
Now they dwell with Him above.
C
Will the circle be unbroken
F C
By and by, by and by?
Am
Is a better home awaiting
C G C
In the sky, in the sky?
C
You remember songs of heaven
F C
Which you sang with childish voice,
Am
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
C G C
Or are songs of earth your choice?
C
Will the circle be unbroken
F C
By and by, by and by?
Am
Is a better home awaiting
C G C
In the sky, in the sky?
C
You can picture happy gath'rings
F C
'Round the fireside long ago,
Am
And you think of tearful partings,
C G C
When they left you here below.
C
Will the circle be unbroken
F C
By and by, by and by?
Am
Is a better home awaiting
C G C
In the sky, in the sky?
C
One by one their seats were emptied,
F C
One by one they went away;
Am
Now the family is parted,
C G C
Will it be complete one day?
(Chorus)
