Lyrics only

Crossing the Bar

see 'Scores with Lyrics' tab for the music!

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

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.

 

( But such a) Tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Turns again home

Turns again home

When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.


Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

When I embark;

When I embark;

And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;


For though 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 crossed the bar.

When I have crossed the bar.

When I have crossed the bar.

I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

 

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
