Crossing the Bar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea

[Chorus]
When I put out to sea
When I put out to sea
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea

[Verse 2]
But such a tide as moving seems asleep
Too full for sound and foam
That which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home

[Chorus]
Turns again home
Turns again home
That which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home

[Verse 3]
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark

[Chorus]
When I embark
When I embark
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark

[Verse 4]
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar

[Chorus]
When I have crost the bar
When I have crost the bar
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar

[Chorus]
When I have crost the bar
When I have crost the bar
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar
