Will The Circle Be Unbroken

(ada ruth habershon)

I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
I saw the hearse come a-rolling
For it carried my mother away

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

Well i call out undertaker
"undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are holding
Lord i hate to see her go"

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

I will follow close beside her
Try to hold on and be brave
But i could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

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

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

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

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

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