Will The Circle Be Unbroken

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?
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, by and by
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
In the joyous days of childhood
Oft they told of wondrous love
Pointed to the dying saviour
Now they dwell with him above
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, by and by
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
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?
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, by and by
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
You can picture happy gath'rings
'Round the fireside long ago
cnd you think of tearful partings
When they left you here below
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, by and by
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
One by one their seats were emptied
cnd one by one they went away;
Now the family is parted
Will it be complete one day?
Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, by and by
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
