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?

    [bad word] 

        Will the circle be unbroken
        By and by, by and by?
        Is a better home awaiting
        In the sky, in the sky?

    In the joyous days of childhood
    Oft they told of wondrous love
    Pointed to the dying Saviour;
    Now they dwell with Him above.

    [bad word] 

    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?

    [bad word] 

    You can picture happy gath'rings
    Round the fireside long ago,
    And you think of tearful partings
    When they left you here below.

    [bad word] 

    One by one their seats were emptied.
    One by one they went away.
    Now the family is parted.
    Will it [bad word] one day?
