[00:05.490]There are loved ones in the glory
[00:10.770]Whose dear forms you often miss
[00:19.130]When you close your earthly story
[00:24.800]Will you join them in their bliss?
[00:29.630]Will the circle be unbroken
[00:35.900]By and by, by and by?
[00:44.020]Is a better home awaiting
[00:54.040]In the sky, in the sky?
[01:01.470]In the joyous days of childhood,
[01:05.530]Oft they told of wondrous love,
[01:11.770]Pointed to the dying Saviour;
[01:20.020]Now they dwell with Him above.
[01:26.780]Will the circle be unbroken
[01:33.420]By and by, by and by?
[01:40.640]Is a better home awaiting
[01:48.400]In the sky, in the sky?
[01:54.550]You remember songs of heaven
[02:03.040]Which you sang with childish voice,
[02:09.460]Do you love the hymns they taught you,
[02:16.030]Or are songs of earth your choice?
[02:23.270]Will the circle be unbroken
[02:30.090]By and by, by and by?
[02:39.460]Is a better home awaiting
[02:45.700]In the sky, in the sky?
[02:50.480]You can picture happy gath'rings
[02:57.840]Round the fireside long ago,
[03:08.390]And you think of tearful partings,
[03:12.350]When they left you here below.
[03:19.460]Will the circle be unbroken
[03:26.380]By and by, by and by?
[03:34.050]Is a better home awaiting
[03:40.250]In the sky, in the sky?
[03:47.770]One by one their seats were emptied,
[03:54.300]And one by one they went away;
[04:00.800]Now the family is parted,
[04:08.100]Will it be complete one day?
[04:15.030]Will the circle be unbroken
[04:21.400]By and by, by and by?
[04:28.080]Is a better home awaiting
[04:34.200]In the sky, in the sky?
