Текст песни
one by one they went away
In the joyous days of childhood, pointed to the dying savior
One by one they went away, oft they told of wondrous love
Will it be complete one day, when you close your earthly story Susan, do you love the hymns they taught you
round the fireside long ago
Now they dwell with him above, do you love the hymns they taught you, one by one they went away
one by one their seats were emptied
Here the circle has been broken, which you sang with childish voice Circle, one by one they went away
Which you sang with childish voice, there are loved ones in the glory
One by one their seats were emptied, whose dear forms you often miss, you remember songs of heaven
Will it be complete one day, when they left you here below
When you close your earthly story, there are loved ones in the glory, in a better home awaiting
You can picture happy gatherings, here the circle has been broken
Round the fireside long ago, which you sang with childish voice be, one by one they went away
whose dear forms you often miss
Now they dwell with him above, here the circle has been broken
Round the fireside long ago, which you sang with childish voice be, now they dwell with him above
In the joyous days of childhood, pointed to the dying savior
one by one they went away
There are loved ones in the glory, one by one they went away Will, will it be complete one day
One by one they went away, which you sang with childish voice
There are loved ones in the glory, will the circle be unbroken, you can picture happy gatherings
You remember songs of heaven, oft they told of wondrous love
when you close your earthly story
