[ Featuring Charles H. Gabriel, Ada R. Habershon ]
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,
Cnd 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?
