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

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?

One by one their seats were emptied
And one by one they went away
Now the circle has been broken
Will it be complete one day?

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky.
