In the joyous days of childhood

Oft they told of wondrous love

You remember songs of heaven

Which you sang with childish voice

        G                             Em
Do you love the hymns they taught you

Or are songs of earth your choich?

Can you picture happy gath'rings

           C              G
Round the fireside long ago?

          G                        Em
And you think of tearful partings

When they left you here below?

        G
One by one their seats were emptied

        C              G
One by one they went away

         G                Em
Now the family is parted

Will it be complete one day?
