There are loved ones in the glory
\nWhose dear forms you often miss.
\nWhen you close your earthly story,
\nWill you join them in their bliss?<\/p>\n
CHORUS:<\/p>\n
Will the circle be unbroken
\nBy and by, by and by?
\nIs a better home awaiting
\nIn the sky, in the sky?<\/p>\n
In the joyous days of childhood
\nOft they told of wondrous love
\nPointed to the dying Saviour;
\nNow they dwell with Him above.<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
You remember songs of heaven
\nWhich you sang with childish voice.
\nDo you love the hymns they taught you,
\nOr are songs of earth your choice?<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
You can picture happy gath’rings
\nRound the fireside long ago,
\nAnd you think of tearful partings
\nWhen they left you here below.<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
One by one their seats were emptied.
\nOne by one they went away.
\nNow the family is parted.
\nWill it be complete one day?<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
