(Verse 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, (Chorus) Let the waves take me slow and kind, Leave all my fears behind. No tears, no cries to start— Just peace within my heart. (Verse 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. (Chorus) Let the waves take me slow and kind, Leave all my fears behind. No tears, no cries to start— Just peace within my heart. (Verse 3) Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; (Bridge) 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. (Outro – Chorus Reprise) Let the waves take me slow and kind, Leave all my fears behind. No tears, no cries to start— Just peace within my heart.
