Will the circle be unbroken 
By and by, Lord, by and by 
There's a better home a-waiting 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky 

I told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow 
For this body you are holding 
Lord, I hate to see here go 

Will the circle be unbroken 
By and by, Lord, by and by 
There's a better home a-waiting 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky 

We sang the songs of childhood 
Hymns of faith that made us strong 
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us 
Hear the angels sing along 

Will the circle be unbroken 
By and by, Lord, by and by 
There's a better home a-waiting 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky 
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
