For the party you are hauling 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.

All my brothers and sisters crying in our home so sad and alone.

We sang the songs of ch ildhood hymns of faith that ma de us strong
Ones that our mother had taught us hear the ange ls sing along
