[00:01.57]There are loved ones in the glory
[00:07.48]Whose dear forms you often miss
[00:14.39]When you close your earthly story
[00:20.90]Will you join them in their bliss?
[00:27.88]Will the circle be unbroken
[00:34.43]By and by, by and by?
[00:41.22]Is a better home awaiting
[00:47.87]In the sky, in the sky?
[00:54.68]In the joyous days of childhood
[01:01.12]Of they told of wondrous love
[01:07.55]Pointed to the dying saviour
[01:14.32]Now they dwell with him above
[01:21.23]Will the circle be unbroken
[01:27.70]By and by, by and by?
[01:34.37]Is a better home awaiting
[01:40.88]In the sky, in the sky?
[01:47.81]You remember songs of heaven
[01:54.38]Which you sang with childish voice
[02:01.01]Do you love the hymns they taught you
[02:07.67]Or are songs of earth your choice?
[02:14.32]You can picture happy gath'rings
[02:20.96]Round the fireside long ago
[02:27.66]And you think of tearful partings
[02:34.45]When they left you here below
[02:41.54]Will the circle be unbroken
[02:47.58]By and by, by and by?
[02:54.35]Is a better home awaiting
[03:01.27]In the sky, in the sky?
[03:07.82]One by one their seats were emptied
[03:14.32]One by one they went away
[03:21.07]Now the family is parted
[03:27.79]Will it be complete one day?
[03:34.59]Will the circle be unbroken
[03:41.06]By and by, by and by?
[03:47.82]Is a better home awaiting
[03:54.31]In the sky, in the sky?
