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 floods of tribulation,
While the billows o'er me roll,
Jesus whispers consolation,
And supports my fainting soul.

Samuel Pearce, 1800

Remember, Lord, our mortal state;
How frail our lives! how short the date!
Where is the man that draws his breath,
Safe from disease, secure from death?

Psalm 88, pt.6 Isaac Watts, 1719

What though the tempest loudly roars, I hear the truth; it liveth.
What though the darkness round me close, songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to this rock I'm clinging.
Since love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble when they hear the bells of freedom ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile, our thoughts to them are winging.
When friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing?

Chorus:
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Come Sunday, oh, come Sunday, that's the day.
Lord, dear Lord above, God Almighty, God of love,
Please look down and see my people through.

I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
I don't mind the gray skies, 'cause they're just clouds passing by.

Chorus

Heaven is a goodness time, a brighter light on high.
(Spoken) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
(Sung) And have a brighter by and by.

Chorus

I believe God is now, was then, and will always be.
With God's blessing we can make ith through eternity.

Chorus
