Will The Circle Be Unbroken

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

[Verse 2]
In the joyous days of childhood
Oft they told of wondrous love
Pointed to the dying Saviour;
Now they dwell with Him above.

[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

[Verse 4]
You can picture happy gath'rings
Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings
When they left you here below.

[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

[Verse 5]
One by one their seats were emptied.
One by one they went away.
Now the family is parted.
Will it be complete one day?

[Chorus]
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
