[[ NOTES: ]]
Hello, friends! This song has been requested a few times and I really liked this hymn to begin with, so here we are. :)
BioShock Infinite's soundtrack... I spent a lot of time reading about how voice actors Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper played a role in contributing to this game's characters and musicality, and I found the whole process to be really neat! I watched a video of them performing this live, and it inspired me to get this done.
Taking a page from Troy and Courtnee's book, I went very simple with this. I think it works well for the song, and the song works well for Booker and Elizabeth's story in Infinite. Hope you enjoy. :)

[[ LYRICS: ]]
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?
Chorus:
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
In the joyous days of childhood,
Oft they told of wondrous love,
Pointed to the dying Saviour;
Now they dwell with Him above.
(Chorus)
You remember songs of heaven
Which you sang with childish voice,
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
Or are songs of earth your choice?
(Chorus)
You can picture happy gath'rings
'Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below.
(Chorus)
One by one their seats were emptied,
One by one they went away;
Now the family is parted,
Will it be complete one day?
