Lyrics

:"There are loved ones in the glory" [Alexander, "Alexander's Gospel Songs", song 55.] :"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?"

:"In the joyous days of childhood":"Oft they told of wondrous love":"Pointed to the dying Saviour;":"Now they dwell with Him above.":(Chorus)

:"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)

:"You can picture happy gath'rings":"Round the fireside long ago,":"And you think of tearful partings":"When they left you here below.":(Chorus)

:"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)
