Author: Ada R. Habershon, 1861-1918 Hymnal: Total Praise #581 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain First Line: There are loved ones in the glory Lyrics: 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. [Refrain]
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? [Refrain]
4 You can picture happy gath’rings
Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below. [Refrain]
5 One by one their seats were empty,
One by one they went away,
Now the fam'ly is parted,
Will it be complete one day? [Refrain] Topics: Childhood; Everlasting Life; Family and Home; Heaven; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy; Jesus Christ Savior Scripture: Ephesians 2:19 Languages: English Tune Title: UNBROKEN CIRCLE
Will the Circle Be Unbroken
