The Last Frontier

copyright © 2003 Edward L. Stauff

To the tune of "A Cross for Me", a Sacred Harp song.
Music in 4 parts is available in The Scarèd Harp.

1.
No more do wood and canvas carry human pioneers
Now glass and steel bear forth our hopes and leave behind our fears
What futures lie beyond the sky in space, the last frontier.

2.
Beyond event horizons where no starlight ever shines
The universe's mysteries await our questing minds
What secrets lie beyond the sky in space, the last frontier.

3.
To see another sun go down, or walk a foreign shore
Or be the first to meet a race we've never known before
What glories lie beyond the sky in space, the last frontier.
