Charles Ives - Crossing the Bar lyrics
[Charles Ives - Crossing the Bar lyrics]
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
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!
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark for though from out our bourn
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
And one clear call for me!
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!
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark for though from out our bourn
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
