- Words by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Music by Rani Arbo, arr. Peter Amidon
This song was recorded on a smartphone at the end of a video recording day when we, as an ensemble, decided on impulse to sing this one more time together before we parted ways. It has been such a privilege to sing together this year, and we look forward to sharing some other videos with you later this year.

Crossing the Bar
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
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 tho' 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 crost the bar.
Amen
1:19
This is beautiful!
Thank you! It is beautiful and sung like Angels.
Thank you, Dale. I have never read this poem before. There is so much reverberation that I can't understand what the choir is singing. You have answered that question. Be Well.
Like Sacred Harp singing…to stand in the center of those voices would be like hearing the angels sing.
I thought of Sacred Harp singing as well. Beautiful!
So poignant. I too have reached 71 years and I get closer and closer in my relationship with Jesus. I fear not death, dying might be a struggle but not death. I too, will cross the bar to meet my Pilot and, I will do so with grace and joy. May I hear this ringing in my ears when I am crosting the bar. Amen. Chris x
So sad; so poignant. So beautiful. I'm 71 now, and have lost many friends and family. They have "crost the bar." And my tears flow. Than you for this heart-felt farewell.
Just too beautiful for words
The harmony is perfect.
@@curtcaudle5900 The spelling as Tennyson would have it was, indeed, "crost."
@@ljsharman9761 thank you for the correction
I should probably read more Tennyson
We don't know eachother, we never met and never will, but I send you a big warm hearted hug from Germany ❤
Darling friend, I am 65 and you're telling my story. For me, they're all gone, making me a member of the "Last One Standing" club. I think we're all meant to look after each other when our folks and so many others have traveled ahead without us, so I hope you are not alone today. My friends generally step up to the plate on holidays and today is no different. I'll keep a good thought for you.
The fact that humans are able to sing is evidence of the kindness of God. Such a gift. And so beautifully celebrated here. Sublime.
Humans are able to kill and torture too. Surely that's also on God's balance sheet... or are you being selective in what you ascribe to the divine?
Beautiful words and harmonies performed by gifted singers. Magnificent acoustics in that church, too! 💜🙏
Sad song for those who don’t know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior! Crossing the Bar is a glorious event for those who know HIM! We don’t sorrow as those who don’t know Him!
Seldom have I heard anything as beautiful and moving as this musical version of Tennyson's emotive poem.
I felt blessed for all 3 minutes and 45 second. God bless you.
I have always loved acapella music, what ever form it may take....and this is simply FANTASTIC!!! Great Job, Folks....Keep up the good work!!! 😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇😇👍👍👍👍
Even though longer time presented this awesome hymn, what a beautiful performance by your voices. The glory for our Lord Jesus is hearable and takes us a moment to heaven. Very well done ❤. God bless you from Switzerland 🇨🇭
This poem was printed on the memorial leaflet when my great-uncle Robert died. It has always had special meaning for me; that meaning is so much more beautiful now, set to music
This is so beautiful. It is so powerful, this circle of held hands and blended voices. God surely delights in this.
I believe that these words were used at the funeral service of Andy, (Service Desk, Air New Zealand). A good Aussie bloke. It was a pleasure to have known him. Tango Whisky.
Sublime. Much better than hip hop.
A beautiful setting of this inspiring poem by Lord Tennyson (the music previously unknown to me), in a lovely interpretation by this sensitive ensemble. Thanks !
A lovely rendition so beautifully gifted to us by this ensemble. Thanks to all of you for your dedication to vocal mastery.
Soothes my heart, especially because of the horrors of the Israeli war now🙏❤️✝️Pray for all people to return to God Almighty.
This is so beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes! I would love to be standing right in the middle of that circle.
Simply angelic..God will not judge by which church a person went to. But by their hearts...that was a dream I had many years ago...mormons. Mennonite baptists matters not to god..he searches the hearts....a bible verse
Gorgeous sounds. Heaven calling.
So so so beautiful and inspiring lovely harmony, many thanks, God bless you.
My choir which no longer is able to meet used to sing this and I was delighted to sing ot once again with your lovely voices Thankyou
THIS , IS A HOLY THING , , TODAH RABAH TO ALMIGHTY GOD FOR HIS SERVANTS . , I HAVE BEEN BLESSED , INDEED , ❤
So beautiful! Such a beautiful music, so beautifully sung.
So wonderful to sing in a circle, hand in hand.
It makes me longing for my singing days, but they are over now.
No entiendo el inglese para mi son angeles ....y sus voces me llegaron a mi corazon destrozado para consolarlo! DIOS los bendiga!Amen🙏❤️🇪🇺
La cancion es “crossing the bar” yo espero q usted puede encontrar na tranduction en espanol. Muy bien hecho este himno por ese grupo de mennonites, no?
Beautiful singing showing devotion to God. I have sung this in my local choir here in Cardiff, Wales UK. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you for such beautiful music. The harmonies superb, the egos absent, just as I would expect from people of simplicity. God bless x
This is the loveliest version of this beautiful poem-song.
Дякую за благоговійний спів, прославляючий Бога!
Truly beautiful ~ such a glorious blend of perfectly pitched voices. I must do more research and I would love to suggest this to our choir here in Brittany in the hope that we could, perhaps, come just a little way to such perfection 🙏 thank you 🙏
I went to a Mennonite school. Choir was always a big deal. When we occasionally sang hymns in chapel the choir kids would sing harmony. It was my favorite part of Chapel.
This is a gorgeous song, and they sing it beautifully.
Beautifully sung in a room perfect for it. Just the right amount of reverberation to enhance the singing.
Dan, totally agree. I might also add, perfect balance; not too much alto or bass!! Most excellently well done!!! And they were spot on with pitch!!!!! WOW!!
I have watched other clips here on TH-cam and they are just as excellent; not in a perfect room for singing.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful singing and a sense of serenity. As I listen, I'm thinking of three people I love, who have "crossed over".
Heavenly singing in what was once a Catholic Church. Laudate Dominum in sanctis eius.
Exquisite! Thank you for the spur of the moment decision to record it.
Such a great harmony. Thank you 💙
Absolutely gorgeous blend of voices here!🎵🎶☺🙏
How beautiful there voices and there presence!
Thanks for a most sublime worship shared.
This was recorded at The Arches in Coatesville, PA.
So beautiful. My favorite poet and poem.. My mother had Crossing the Bar put on my grandmothers headstone...
This was written on my maternal grandmother’s tombstone.
Good acoustics is immediately rewarding for both the singer and the listener.
I had to let this one loop for a while. 🤔😢
Myron did a great job with that smartphone.
A beautiful setting of one of my favorite poems, sung masterfully in a room with absolutely glorious acoustics. Thank you!
Nothing morę beautiful than choir singing - people tuning to each other in harmony.
Such stunning harmony. And that last unison note gave me chills. Absolutely beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL
Oh my gosh!! This is beautiful. And I can sense the Love of God......
This is the most beautiful singing I have ever heard. I can't stop listening to it.
Other worldly in beauty....................
Still looping.
Here with this song is the difference between good and excellent.
Vielen Dank.
Well sung. Because of the reverberation, I could not understand the words to an unfamiliar song. The tune and pace of the singing had me thinking that you were singing in Latin. Very moving. Thank you, choir.
