Gleams on the slum­bering sea;
Oh, my soul, art thou rea­dy to ap­pear
And one clear call for me!
With spread­ing sail and fa­vor­ing gale
He robbed the grave of vic­to­ry,
For our cap­tain has brok­en the bra­zen gates,
Oh death, where is thy sting!
Jesus is gone up on high!

the bar

Across life’s trou­bled sea,
Comes one clear call to me.
With no coun­sel at thy side,
When I put out to sea.
She’s com­ing in, com­ing in,
He broke the bars of death.
And burst the bars of ir­on.
In tri­umph He hath flown.
Angels shout, and men reply:
