And one clear call for me;
And may there be no moaning bar
When I put out to sea;
2 But moving tide asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the deep
Turns again to its home.
3 Twilight and ev'ning bell,
And after that the dark;
And may there be no sad farewell,
When I at last embark.
3 For tho' from time and place,
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot's face,
When I have crossed the bar. Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Services, Occasions Funeral Scripture: Numbers 23:10 Languages: English Tune Title: CROSSING THE BAR
