and by Oh by and by Is a better home awaiting In the sky Oh in the sky  Verses: 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?  In the joyous days of childhood Oh they told us of His Love Pointed to the dying Saviour Now they dwell with Him above  you can picture happy gath’rings round the fireside long ago and you think of tearful partings when they left you here below  one by one their seats were emptied one by one they went away now the family is parted will it be complete one day?
