678 ~ Sunset and Evening Star

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,

2

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.

3

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

4

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. Amen
