Intro: C F C Am C G C 

C                       
There are loved ones in the glory 
      F                    C 
Whose dear forms you often miss 
         C                  Am 
When you close your earthly story 
         C         G        C 
Will you join them in their bliss? 
         C            
Will the circle be unbroken 
       F          C 
By and by, by and by 
     C            Am 
Is a better home awaiting 
       C    G     C 
In the sky, in the sky 
       C               
In the joyous days of childhood 
         F               C 
Oft they told of wondrous love 
        C            Am 
Pointed to the dying saviour 
         C          G   C 
Now they dwell with him above 
         C           
Will the circle be unbroken 
       F          C 
By and by, by and by 
     C            Am 
Is a better home awaiting 
       C    G      C 
In the sky, in the sky 
      C                
You remember songs of heaven 
          F                  C 
Which you sang with childish voice 
       C                   Am 
Do you love the hymns they taught you 
       C        G          C 
Or are songs of earth your choice 
         C            
Will the circle be unbroken 
       F          C 
By and by, by and by? 
     C            Am 
Is a better home awaiting 
       C    G      C 
In the sky, in the sky 
        C              
You can picture happy gath'rings 
        F                  C 
'Round the fireside long ago 
        C                Am 
And you think of tearful partings 
          C        G      C 
When they left you here below 
         C            
Will the circle be unbroken 
       F          C 
By and by, by and by? 
     C            Am 
Is a better home awaiting 
       C    G      C 
In the sky, in the sky 
       C                    
One by one their seats were emptied 
           F                C 
And one by one they went away 
        C         Am 
Now the family is parted 
        C       G       C 
Will it be complete one day 
         C            
Will the circle be unbroken 
       F          C 
By and by, by and by? 
     C            Am 
Is a better home awaiting 
       C    G      C 
In the sky, in the sky?
