Crossing the Bar/ Alfred Tennyson

A Christian hymn of assurance that God will always be with us for comfort and guidance. Written by Alfred Tennyson, 1889. Sung in the video by the Altar Of Praise Chorale, from their album 'This is My Father's World.' 

Crossing the Bar

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 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.
