My closest friends have moved to heaven
They have left this world below
To live up there with Christ forever
There they never shall grow old
The Family chain has now been broken
The missing links are safe I know
I pray well all be joined together
In that city built of gold
Daddy was the first to leave us
And it grieved my mother so
Right away she had to join him
They are happy there I know
My days on earth will soon be ending
For I can see it in Daddy's eyes.
The broken links will come together
Reuniting one by one
