| [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? |
