I
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
CHORUS
WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
BYE AND BYE LORD BYE AND BYE
THERE'S A BETTER HOME A'WAITING
IN THE SKY LORD IN THE SKY
II
IN THE JOYOUS DAYS OF CHILDHOOD
OFT' THEY TOLD OF WONDROUS LOVE
POINTED TO THE DYING SAVIOR
NOW THEY DWELL WITH HIM ABOVE
III
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
IV
YOU CAN PICTURE HAPPY GATHERINGS
'ROUND THE FIRESIDE LONG AGO
AND YOU THINK OF TEARFUL PARTINGS
WHEN THEY LEFT YOU HERE BELOW
V
ONE BY ONE THEIR SEATS WERE EMPTIED
ONE BY ONE THEY WENT AWAY
NOW THE FAMILY IS DEPARTED
WILL IT BE COMPLETE ONE DAY
