I first heard this while turning pages for an organist at a rustic chapel. It moved me. Years later, I was near, trying to comfort a woman as doctors tried in vain to save her husband. It was a Sunday morning. As it happened, I passed the hospital chapel, a small stone church built right into the hospital. Full of grief, with no way to ease that widow's pain, I poured the groaning of the spirit into singing this, as a homecoming prayer for the husband and an offering for comfort to the wife. Years later, my own father died on a Sunday morning, before dawn. I too took comfort in this hymn, which I played again and again, when grief reappeared. When one day, the God who saved my life time and again, finally calls me away, I hope someone will sing this for my soul, and to comfort the dear ones left behind.
During WW2, my grandfather served in the Canadian forces. His buddy was wounded critically on the battlefield. My grandfather comforted him by singing this song to him as he laid there dying. My grandfather would weep when he'd hear this song. When I hear this song, I think of him. Thanks for the post.
Me and my family sung this song many times. It is one of the most beautiful hymn. I just had a massive heart attack and my LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST saved my life and gave me a new life to live. Now this hymn means so much more to me than it has ever been before. Knowing that I am safe in HIS precious arms. Things in life changes but HE changes not. He is still GOD on the throne. JESUS SAVES.
My Grandmother gone some 30 years wept everytime she sang this hymn for her it was a reminder of the titanic which she lived thru........ I love you Gram
As Often ad I listen to this hymn I think of my beloved husband who passed away on the 16th of November I know God was there as he suffered until he closed his eyes with the cross before him Thank God for love
Being English and in a choir I used to sing this song five or six times a year as a child. We used to look at each other to see who was moved to tears first. It's a profoundly moving hymn.
This hymn we sang at my fathers funeral in 1985 and it still makes me cry even now I’m older than he was when he passed at 61. God bless you dad I miss you even now. Many years have passed but my love for you will never diminish 🙏🙏🙏❤️
One of the most beautiful hymns! If you are here listening to this song and haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior yet, please I implore you, don’t put it off any longer. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 None of us are promised tomorrow. Today is your day of salvation. ❤️
I feel a connection to this hymn, I am helpless without God. Today I sang this as it was rainy and gloomy, and I was feeling overwhelmed. By the time the hymn ended, the sun came out and I felt at peace. God is so gracious. May we not forget that our worries are not bigger than God.
Mom and I sang this hymn together countless times. As long as we know that God is with us, we can face life and death. Thank you Mark for sending me this one. May everyone facing a terminal illness find comfort in this video.
I will be the first to admit I am not religious but I love this hymn especially the words 'help of the helpless O abide with me' give me strength to carry on in dark times and I often listen to this to help me.
I love this hymn The words give respite to one's soul.It is not a funeral song at all .It says help of the helpless,abide with me.does the dead need help again.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7,8 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20
This was the entrance hymn during my dear Mum's funeral in 2019... it just came to me today - being the 14th death anniversary of my beloved elder Sis, Vivian. God bless the dead.
It's the only song known with my mum and at the burial and funeral service .it was the only song of my heart and I cried as well as all my siblings with brothers were burst into crying ...unending memories for all ..Princess..mama Emily Adejoke Adeosun Ogunwole....rest in a perfect peace
My father died in 1946 when I was 9 years old and when the funeral procession entered the cemetery the organ in the chapel was playing this song and this song will ever be a lasting memory of the importance of Abiding in Christ.
Many Christian hymns are written from the heart at times of deep pain. This is one such hymn as this was written when Henry Francis Lyte was in his death bed due to tuberculosis (in 1847). He died three weeks later. But his emotions and relationship with God comes through in the lyrics
Beautifully done! from Sacramento California, blessings to you. Lord Jesus Come as soon as possible may we do the work that you have given us to do so that we may abide in your physical presense forever. Revelation 14:13
Most evening church services on a Sunday ended with this Hymn "Abide with me" in my Church in India,Now I often hear in Funeral services, In Living or dying You Abide with me my Saviour and my Redeemer.
"Change and Decay in all around I see; O THOU THAT CHANGEST NOT , abide with me"!! This hymn has such depth. I am glad I know God personally.He is such a comfort to me daily. Tears in eyes right now as I listen once again to this great hymn....BEAUTIFULLY DONE!
I'd like to thanks for this comment. My heart's so pleased with this beautiful worship song. May God bless all ones to be there for the truth and the light !Amen. .......Respectfully,.....Sister Nid Manna
My father is a retired Methodist minister, and I was once told that sometimes Catholics would ask him personally to conduct funerals for their loved ones partly because of his renown, but also because of the Protestant hymns. I'm simply stating what I was either told or what I knew. God bless everyone, whatever their denomination.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

This hymn has given us of Ejiabor family great comfort and hope on the untimely passing of our dearest brother, Godson Onyeka Ejiabor. Our faith is in the Lord Amighty knowing that he is at peace with the Saints in heaven. Fare the well, my brother.
It was only via the desperate dying devout soul of an Anglican Scotsman in 1847 that Our Heavenly Father could have imparted the lyrics of this Hymnal Plea from His own heart to a dying world of sinners who would sing this hymn some weeping in grief and deep sorrow at almost every funeral service of departed Christians which reverberated into every corner of the earth and returned to The Father on His glorious Throne above the highest Heaven in Divine worship of His being.God draws near to those who are of a contrite heart and a broken spirit. He just wants to draw near to us to embrace us whom he formed uniquely in our mothers' wombs because He loves us enough to have offered His only begotten and beloved Son to redeem us prodigals back to Him who longs for our home-coming to Him Who desires not the death of a sinner but that ALL should come to repentance in Christ and be saved from eternal separation from The Father. Patrick Arendse.
As I survey the beauty of life itself, the powerful depth and beauty of the Anglican liturgy, and the ever-abiding love of Christ, I struggle to see how a world could turn its back. It pains me. But as for me and my family, we shall shall serve (and kneel before) the Lord.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see- O Thou who changest not, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies; Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
This is the greatest belief in eternal life set to memorable music My grandfather translated it into undefinable Malayalam and today I sing both versions when falling into a weakening of life
Thank your for posting this hymn, may the Lord bless you and keep you today and always. This is a favourite of my father, as a child we used to sing it every evening and it has remained with me since, 48 years later, I still remember it just as yesterday. God bless.
David John , God the Father protect you, brother. Jesus will be your companion through difficult times. He has been a friend to me. Wife left home. Three lovely children now grown up. Couldn’t ask for better sons. However the pain of divorce is still with us. Thank you God the Father for sending Jesus to save us. The Holy Spirit comfort, console guide and strengthen us. Amen
This hymn is as timeless as God himself, it covers my waking up,my sleeping,and my death. This hymn takes me to a place only I can go to be with my God. Another hymn that does this, is Dear Lord and Father of mankind. This hymn speaks of my humanness,my weakness, and of my total dependency on God. To live for God is to die to self, this is a daily struggle for most Christians. It is in these times of worship that the Holy Spirit brings healing, and gives us the strength to carry on.
This was sung at both of my parents funerals 13 and 11 years ago. STILL brings a tear to my eyes when I hear it and CANNOT sing it fully because I'm in tears. STILL love it though.
I was at a funeral yesterday and this along with The Lord Is my Shephard were sung and they are two very powerful somgs with a lot of meaning and emotion.
My dad told me he wanted this song at his service. I remembered this as I sat in the little room at the hospital when they told me he died. He was only 68 and I wasn't expecting it, yet when I look back I think God was preparing me because I would ask my dad questions and tell him things... like "what will happen with the house if one of you dies?" or "I want to make a video of you." He died before I made it.
Lord Abide with me in life and in death. Through out the ages many Christians have composed such great music to reflect the love and hope in the One who Cherish our souls, The LORD Jesus Christ.. And no other... This hymn encourage me to reflect on him and should be a reminder that the Saint life is in his hand. And no ill shall prevail unless it is within his time table..
WHENEVER I AM JOYLESS, FEARFUL AND/OR CONFUSED, I EITHER WATCH THIS BEAUTIFUL HYMN OR SING IT FROM "HYMNS, ANCIENT AND MODERN NEW STANDARD', AND IT GIVES SUCH A COMFORT. I BELIEVE MR HENRY F LYTE IS AMIDST THE HOLY ANGELS BRIGHT, ETERNALLY VOID OF FEAR.
God bless Henry Francis Lyte and William Henry Monk. They left an ever living songs for us to use during our worship and when ever we feel like praising and singing
What a hymn that supplies comfort during our most fearful moment, especially, when overwhelmed by the aftermath of death. May the infinite God, Who encouraged HENRY F LYTE to compose this and other hymns of encouragement abide with us in our fearful moments.
my grandad passed away 2 years ago, sung this at the funeral, fa cup final that he used to watch every year it is sung before kick off becomes even more special to me. 2 years on and i think aout you every day even though this makes me cry i try n live how you expected me to live and carrying youre coffin was the proudest moment of my life x

Every hymn or praise song has its place; and plentiful are the contemporary songs that have their depth and power. However, the old hymns are so beloved for a very good reasons; and the world would be much the poorer without them.
I love this hymn and it opens my heart that Jesus is with me and us on each and everybody in all Christian denominational church. I'm from the WELS we sing it I love the atheists but not they believe in. I'm thinking about sharing gods word with them.
I laid my Mother to rest to this Glorious piece in 2014, followed by Daddy in 2016...Love birds for 47 yrs in all life times...I love you both and miss you immensely...
Beautiful hymn of grandeur full of passion for all occasions during life. Wonderfully performed by this choir and organist. Bravo to you all. Thanks for posting!
Peter Downey my adopted mother funeral 17th of December 1977 being gay I've heard it many times before what it reminds me me is lost be on your own and nobody wants you
The Choir was awesome on this Gospel song. It really moved me....We should listen to and watch videos like this, every day to keep us in touch with our Creator. A peaceful way to spend a few minutes away from the cares of daily living. Thank you for posting this video....The video was perfect and lovely. Arizona22Rose Rosie
Absolutely beautiful. Our God is all powerful, merciful and loving to us all. I know He has blessed us in many, many ways. It amazes me that so many do not believe in Him when He is all around us every day. God Bless all of you.....Rog & Betty
Wonderful biblical based Hymn that conveys the gracious character of God and his sovereignty when we are confronted by death. Granted people and the church have their place, non the less, it is Christ alone who must be trusted!
I never tired of this great hymn tvnorth. I love Our Precious Lord and look forward to the day I shall see Him.......having my grandparents come from The Cotswolds, I love this choir and the beautiful countryside you show so eloquently. Thank you.
I spurned the concept God, thought all who had faith weak and, at best, believed faith a matter of convenience. All of that is changed now and while far from a perfect Christian, I place my faith and hope in Jesus Christ and pray for his mercy and love. God Bless
I have been playing the melody on th key board and today with gods grace i was able to go through the lyrics on the u tube with my GURU , i am indeed honored , GOD BLESS .
oh yes....what a great joy to feel the faith and the spirit of the great love of our Jesus...don`t loose your hope....god is the perfect love...eternity is a great gift for all human beeings...
Preciosa plegaria para momentos de oscuridad y contrariedad en la vida, Siempre ayudará escuchar el Abide with me con una melodía sublime. Oh Lord, abide with me, fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
Thank you. A meaningful hymn when in difficulty, Abide With Me, is a prayer for God to remain present with you throughout life, trials, and death. The opening line alludes to Luke 24:29, "Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent." In the Baha'i Long Healing Prayer, the word is a refrain "Thou the Healing, Thou the Abiding, O Thou Abiding One!"
Very good rendition.. Keep up the good work.. God needs us more than ever in this civid crisis. God bless you and all who made this piece possible to be shared... Prayer to the Holy Spirit (St Augustine) Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen7

Hundred years today the RAF was formed thank you for serving my country thank you thank you thank you one day one somebody would do the same thing for the fire brigade
I wish you self appointed authorities on religion would just shut up and enjoy the hymn. It was my grandmother's favorite and my mother's and mine and will remain so as I near my own end. I would be grateful if you would allow this simplicity of appeal to our maker to remain intact and away from your posing and self righteous creepiness
I love You Jesus. Life is about You . . . worshipping You, glorifying You, serving You!! Thank U for saving my wretched soul, one night. For years I did not know that being saved was a one time event, a free gift, totally supernatural - the New Birth
Yes Lord, in life or in death, please, please abide with me, for I know and believe that your grace is only sufficient for me. I believe in You, I adore You, I hope in You and above all, I love You, My Lord and My God. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, adore, hope or love You. Father forgive them all, for they know not what they do. Please have mercy on them and indeed, have mercy on all of us. Thank You Lord. Thank you for sharing this video. Well done and God bless.

How very sad for your grandfather. A beautiful hymn that clearly shows our need for our God. ❤️
Your grandfather friend died for evil forces.. now they spread evil
How sad yet beautiful and moving testimony of your grandfather.
That's truly touching. A beautiful mercy he could give to that man.
Me and my family sung this song many times. It is one of the most beautiful hymn. I just had a massive heart attack and my LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST saved my life and gave me a new life to live.

This hymn resonates with our heart and soul. You will meet again. God bless you
remember, your dad is only a memory away..
Nice to see in this world of ignorance there are still some people who still believe and serve GOD. Praises be unto the rock of ages.
One of the most beautiful hymns! If you are here listening to this song and haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior yet, please I implore you, don’t put it off any longer. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

I love this hymn The words give respite to one's soul.It is not a funeral song at all .It says help of the helpless,abide with me.does the dead need help again.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7,8
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20
The hymn is infinitely more impactful when you learn He is real, He is the help of the helpless and He welcomes His children home on their last day.
This was the entrance hymn during my dear Mum's funeral in 2019... it just came to me today - being the 14th death anniversary of my beloved elder Sis, Vivian. God bless the dead.

This hymn never ceases to minister to me. One of my best hymns..It brings me directly to the Mercy Seat.
My father died in 1946 when I was 9 years old and when the funeral procession entered the cemetery the organ in the chapel was playing this song and this song will ever be a lasting memory of the importance of Abiding in Christ.
It's very common and popular at funerals I've noticed

Most evening church services on a Sunday ended with this Hymn "Abide with me" in my Church in India,Now I often hear in Funeral services,
In Living or dying You Abide with me my Saviour and my Redeemer.
As long as we remain with Him, He would continue to abide with us until we see Him face to face.
"Change and Decay in all around I see; O THOU THAT CHANGEST NOT , abide with me"!!
This hymn has such depth. I am glad I know God personally.He is such a comfort to me daily. Tears in eyes right now as I listen once again to this great hymn....BEAUTIFULLY DONE!
It's simply one of the most powerful hymns I've ever heard. And I've been a Lutheran for 63 years.

The best Bible commentary is the Bible but I've often said that maybe a methodist hymnal is a close second.

Amen brother. All that really matters is that you profess faith in the Christ Jesus, and that you are born again.

Amen sister in Christ
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see-
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
This is the greatest belief in eternal life set to memorable music My grandfather translated it into undefinable Malayalam and today I sing both versions when falling into a weakening of life
This is a very beautiful hymn Abide with me I love hearing it over and over again
Thank your for posting this hymn, may the Lord bless you and keep you today and always. This is a favourite of my father, as a child we used to sing it every evening and it has remained with me since, 48 years later, I still remember it just as yesterday. God bless.
I always cry whenever I listened to this great song. Thank you dear Lord
I like to listen this song before going to bed or in the morning It gives me spiritual strength to the mind thanks .

Separated recently and lost dad last year in his 60s

Anytime I feel down I listen to hymns, and I always feel better so. 😊
This hymn is as timeless as God himself, it covers my waking up,my sleeping,and my death. This hymn takes me to a place only I can go to be with my God. Another hymn that does this, is Dear Lord and Father of mankind. This hymn speaks of my humanness,my weakness, and of my total dependency on God. To live for God is to die to self, this is a daily struggle for most Christians. It is in these times of worship that the Holy Spirit brings healing, and gives us the strength to carry on.

When we have only God left then we realise that God is all we need.
This was sung at both of my parents funerals 13 and 11 years ago. STILL brings a tear to my eyes when I hear it and CANNOT sing it fully because I'm in tears. STILL love it though.
This has got to be my favorite hymn of all time. Gets to the core of my soul.
Help of the helpless oh adide with me and household
I was at a funeral yesterday and this along with The Lord Is my Shephard were sung and they are two very powerful somgs with a lot of meaning and emotion.
Was sang at my fathers funeral when I was 16 along with count your blessings and bind us together

Written in one of the loveliest towns in England. BRIXHAM!
Love this,everyone should listen to this every so often.
How completely beautiful.
Tears for my father and mother!
My grandma is in hospital in her last moments of life and this is hers and her late husbands favourite hymn..
My dad told me he wanted this song at his service. I remembered this as I sat in the little room at the hospital when they told me he died. He was only 68 and I wasn't expecting it, yet when I look back I think God was preparing me because I would ask my dad questions and tell him things... like "what will happen with the house if one of you dies?" or "I want to make a video of you." He died before I made it.
Lord Abide with me in life and in death. Through out the ages many Christians have composed such great music to reflect the love and hope in the One who Cherish our souls, The LORD Jesus Christ.. And no other... This hymn encourage me to reflect on him and should be a reminder that the Saint life is in his hand. And no ill shall prevail unless it is within his time table..
WHENEVER I AM JOYLESS, FEARFUL AND/OR CONFUSED, I EITHER WATCH THIS BEAUTIFUL HYMN OR SING IT FROM "HYMNS, ANCIENT AND MODERN NEW STANDARD', AND IT GIVES SUCH A COMFORT. I BELIEVE MR HENRY F LYTE IS AMIDST THE HOLY ANGELS BRIGHT, ETERNALLY VOID OF FEAR.
God bless Henry Francis Lyte and William Henry Monk. They left an ever living songs for us to use during our worship and when ever we feel like praising and singing
This's my favorite hymn and glory be to God .
What a hymn that supplies comfort during our most fearful moment, especially, when overwhelmed by the aftermath of death.
May the infinite God, Who encouraged HENRY F LYTE to compose this and other hymns of encouragement abide with us in our fearful moments.
How is it possible that anyone could give this a thumbs down..I really don't understand today's people..
Why do they listen if they dont like it ? K
Nice song
Because there Heathens
probably satanic heathens lol its all good we have precious Christ all to ourselves
Gareth Ifan ...Athiests for sure. Don't pay them any mind. Hell is where they will abideth.
my grandad passed away 2 years ago, sung this at the funeral, fa cup final that he used to watch every year it is sung before kick off becomes even more special to me.
2 years on and i think aout you every day even though this makes me cry i try n live how you expected me to live and carrying youre coffin was the proudest moment of my life x

Every hymn or praise song has its place; and plentiful are the contemporary songs that have their depth and power. However, the old hymns are so beloved for a very good reasons; and the world would be much the poorer without them.
I love this hymn and it opens my heart that Jesus is with me and us on each and everybody in all Christian denominational church. I'm from the WELS we sing it I love the atheists but not they believe in. I'm thinking about sharing gods word with them.
I laid my Mother to rest to this Glorious piece in 2014, followed by Daddy in 2016...Love birds for 47 yrs in all life times...I love you both and miss you immensely...
I want these words on my lips when I die. What a masterful work of the English tongue.
Listen in ur language will hear the same joy
Beautiful hymn of grandeur full of passion for all occasions during life. Wonderfully performed by this choir and organist. Bravo to you all. Thanks for posting!
RIP Grandad, 1934-2016. This was sung at his funeral.
Peter Downey
May his soul rest in The Lord! His life certainly would have been well lived!
Rest in peace mam n dad
Peter Downey my adopted mother funeral 17th of December 1977 being gay I've heard it many times before what it reminds me me is lost be on your own and nobody wants you
Peter Downey
Nice . I wish my grandfather was a Christian. He passed December 2017 .
The Choir was awesome on this Gospel song. It really moved me....We should listen to and watch videos like this, every day to keep us in touch with our Creator.
A peaceful way to spend a few minutes away from the cares of daily living.
Thank you for posting this video....The video was perfect and lovely.

Absolutely beautiful. Our God is all powerful, merciful and loving to us all. I know He has blessed us in many, many ways. It amazes me that so many do not believe in Him when He is all around us every day. God Bless all of you.....Rog & Betty
ALONG WITH ETERNAL FATHER I LISTEN TO ABIDE WITH ME ALMOST EVERY DAY. IT GIVES ME THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON TO THE NEXT DAY AT FLANK SPEED
+Ed Greene God bless us all.
Amen ...this song really humbles me and add more strength to my faith
Abide with me

Wonderful biblical based Hymn that conveys the gracious character of God and his sovereignty when we are confronted by death. Granted people and the church have their place, non the less, it is Christ alone who must be trusted!
I am non Catholic but I really Iove this beautiful hymn and would like listening my whole life .
I never tired of this great hymn tvnorth. I love Our Precious Lord and look forward to the day I shall see Him.......having my grandparents come from The Cotswolds, I love this choir and the beautiful countryside you show so eloquently.
Thank you.
This Beautiful song always gives me Spiritual strength to the mind & soul.
Thank you for up-load !!
A cold beer does the same for me.
+Rabelais Each to his own in this diverse world... you evoked a chuckle.
I spurned the concept God, thought all who had faith weak and, at best, believed faith a matter of convenience. All of that is changed now and while far from a perfect Christian, I place my faith and hope in Jesus Christ and pray for his mercy and love.
God Bless
i love this song the choir sounds amazing this song is one of my grandmother's favorite hymns
jasmin smith one of mine too
I too, every funeral and evensong, until I damaged my voice; now I cannot sing that beautiful tenor anymore, so I cry every time I hear this hymn.
I may have heard this song in my younger days. Just don't recall. It is beautiful, just as The Lord is.
I have been playing the melody on th key board and today with gods grace i was able to go through the lyrics on the u tube with my GURU , i am indeed honored , GOD BLESS .
O Thou who changes not, Abide with me.
oh yes....what a great joy to feel the faith and the spirit of the great love of our
Jesus...don`t loose your hope....god is the perfect love...eternity is a great gift for all human beeings...
This hymn remove fear from my mind.
The words of this song are my heart's cry to my God. What a wonderful day it will be when I am with You oh King of kings.
Preciosa plegaria para momentos de oscuridad y contrariedad en la vida, Siempre ayudará escuchar el Abide with me con una melodía sublime. Oh Lord, abide with me, fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
Thank you. A meaningful hymn when in difficulty, Abide With Me, is a prayer for God to remain present with you throughout life, trials, and death. The opening line alludes to Luke 24:29, "Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is
far spent." In the Baha'i Long Healing Prayer, the word is a refrain "Thou the Healing, Thou the Abiding, O Thou Abiding One!"
I am of the belief that there is a LOT of good solid doctrine in an old hymnal...What a treasure songs like this are.........
We had a minister once who said there was a sermon in every hymn.
A superb rendition of this hymn. Salvation can only come through our Lord Jesus Christ - God himself incarnate - who overcame death!
Church of England I shall return to thee, Though kingdom come thy will be done!
Very good rendition.. Keep up the good work.. God needs us more than ever in this civid crisis. God bless you and all who made this piece possible to be shared...
Prayer to the Holy Spirit (St Augustine)
Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen7
I love this hymn. All time favorite
My all time favorite hymn. He is the only one who abides with us all the time on earth and in heaven as well. Amen.
I love this Hymn
Beautiful hymn....beautiful region. Yorkshire is indeed God's country. It captures my heart like no other.

Wonderful - tender on the soul -
i was lost for 31 yrs. Man! I had no idea what all i was missing out on. Jesus really is abundant life NOW!
Hundred years today the RAF was formed thank you for serving my country thank you thank you thank you one day one somebody would do the same thing for the fire brigade
This is a beautifu hymn with such beautiful scenery. I love you Daddy and will see you in Heaven one day.
I wish you self appointed authorities on religion would just shut up and enjoy the hymn. It was my grandmother's favorite and my mother's and mine and will remain so as I near my own end. I would be grateful if you would allow this simplicity of appeal to our maker to remain intact and away from your posing and self righteous creepiness
I love You Jesus. Life is about You . . . worshipping You, glorifying You, serving You!!
Thank U for saving my wretched soul, one night. For years I did not know that being saved was a one time event, a free gift, totally supernatural - the New Birth
wonderfully peaceful sound
Yes Lord, in life or in death, please, please abide with me, for I know and believe that your grace is only sufficient for me. I believe in You, I adore You, I hope in You and above all, I love You, My Lord and My God. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, adore, hope or love You. Father forgive them all, for they know not what they do. Please have mercy on them and indeed, have mercy on all of us. Thank You Lord.
Thank you for sharing this video. Well done and God bless.
So beautiful
