Will the Circle Be Unbroken

1 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?

Refrain:

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, yes, by and by?

In a better home awaiting

In the sky, in the sky?

2 In the joyous days of childhood,

Oft they told of wondrous love,

Pointed to the dying Savior,

Now they dwell with Him above.

3 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?

4 You can picture happy gatherings

Round the fireside long ago,

And you think of tearful partings,

When they left you here below.

5 One by one their seats were empty,

One by one they went away,

Now the family is parted,

Will it be complete one day?
