Will the Circle Be Unbroken

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?
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home waiting
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
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home waiting
In the sky, in the sky?
You can picture happy gatherings
Round the fireside long ago
And you think of tearful partings
When they left you here below
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home waiting
In the sky, in the sky?
One by one their seats were emptied
One by one they went away;
Here the circle has been broken
Will it be complete one day?
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home waiting
In the sky, in the sky?
