[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? |
