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