1. There are loved ones in the Glory, whose sweet forms you often miss. When you close your earthly story, will you join them in their bliss? Chorus: 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. 2. In the joyous days of childhood, often told of wondrous love. Pointed to the dying Saviour, now they dwell with Him above. Chorus: 3. You can picture happy gatherings, round the fireside long ago. And you think of never parting, will they leave you here below? Chorus: 4. One by one their seats are empty, one by one they all went away. Now this family is all parted, will it be complete one day? Chorus:
1. I wandered so aimless life filled with sin, I wouldn’t let my dear Savior in. Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night Praise the Lord I SAW THE LIGHT. Chorus: I SAW THE LIGHT, I SAW THE LIGHT No more darkness, No more night Now I’m so happy, no sorrow in sight. Praise the Lord I SAW THE LIGHT. 2. Just like a blind man I wandered along. Worries and fears I claimed for my own. Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight. Praise the Lord I SAW THE LIGHT. Chorus: 3. I was a fool to wander and stray. Straight is the gate and narrow the way. Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord I SAW THE LIGHT. Chorus:
Give me oil in my lamp and keep me burning, Give me oil in my lamp, I pray, Give me oil in my lamp and keep me burning Keep me burning ’til the break of day. Sing - Hosana, Sing - Hosana, Sing - Hosana To the King of Kings Sing - Hosana, Sing, - Hosana, Sing - Hosana To the King.
