Answer:

Tennyson wrote “Crossing the Bar” in 1889, three years before he died. ... Although he followed this work with subsequent poems, he requested that “Crossing the Bar” appear as the final poem in all collections of his work. Tennyson uses the metaphor of a sand bar to describe the barrier between life and death

A bar. as the word is used in Tennyson's poem, is the place where a river flows into the ocean. ... The pilot is obviously God, and Tennyson is suggesting that God has been directing him all his life without his yet having seen this omnipotent guide face to face.
