C                     G     C
There are loved ones in the glory,
F                         C
Whose dear forms you often miss;
C                   Am
When you close your earthly story,
         C         G        C
Will you join them in their bliss?

Chorus:
         C       G   C
Will the circle be unbroken
       F           C
By and by, by and by?
C                Am
Is a better home awaiting
       C    G      C
In the sky, in the sky?

       C       G      C
In the joyous days of childhood,
         F                C
Oft they told of wondrous love,
       C             Am
Pointed to the dying Saviour;
         C          G   C
Now they dwell with Him above.

(Chorus)
    C         G       C
You remember songs of heaven
          F                   C
Which you sang with childish voice,
       C             Am 
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
       C        G          C
Or are songs of earth your choice?

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

(Chorus)
        C         G         C
One by one their seats were emptied,
       F             C
One by one they went away;
        C         Am
Now the family is parted,
        C  G            C
Will it be complete one day?
