There are loved ones dwelling in the glory

There are ones I dearly miss

When I close my earthly story

I hope to join them in their bliss

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, oh by and by

In a better home that's a-waitin'

In the sky, lord, in the sky

In the joyous days of my childhood

Often told of wonderous love

Pointed to the dying savior

Now they dwell with him above

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, lord, by and by

In a better home that's a-waitin'

In the sky, lord, in the sky

I remember songs of heaven

That I sang with my childish voice

And with the hymns that they taught me

It's with him I shall rejoice

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, by and by

In a better home that's a-waitin'

In the sky, lord, in the sky

I can picture happy gatherings

Around the fireside long ago

And I think of the tearful partings

When they left me here below

One by one their seats were empty

One by one they went away

Now the family is parted

Will it be complete one day

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by lord by and by

In a better home that's a-waitin'

In the sky, lord, in the sky

In a better home that's a-waitin'

In the sky, lord, in the sky
