    That's my girl... THAT's how you sing a religious hymn/anthem: the way it was intended by it's author/composer, not with crazy vocal runs which trivializes it and brings it down to the level of an ordinary pop song...

    It has been sung at every rugby league challenge cup final for over 80 years. I have no religion, but I would resist any attempt by the RFL to omit it. I hope one day to sing it with my team having made it to the final. It's very much a tradition from perhaps more religious days. Does that answer your question?

    Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

    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 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
    Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee
    In life, in death, o Lord, abide with me
    Abide with me, abide with me.

    It is amazing to me that this song approved--I personally love it. It would never fly in the US--although more "churched" than the UK, this would be crushed by the ACLU. Even if you think religion in its traditional form is archaic, there is something appealing about a message which says, "I can't always solve my own problems. If there is a power out there to help and protect me, please, be there." BTW, this hymn was written by a Scottish Anglican stricken with TB. He died 3 weeks later.

    It's such a great hymn, and a very pleasent performance. I just feel a little bit sad that people just sang along at the 'abide with me' line. Maybe only elder peolple should know the whole lyricis. I feel sad becouse if we were back in time a hundred years ago, maybe all the stadium would sing altogether in one voice! England was once a world-providing country of servants of Christ, I feel sad that today we cannot say the same. But may God bless that we will see new believers in our Lord and God Jesus Christ. May the gospel be preached again in all England

    what's so great about this old hymn at the Rugby playoff is that the Brits are one of the least religious country's on the planet. They love old drinking songs, patriotic hymns -- and even old church hymns -- because it's all good fun and crowd roar. Americans haven't evolved enough to pull this off.

    I'm proud hearing my fellow Kiwi, Hayley Westenra, delivering such a beautiful song so exquisitely.

    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, O abide with me. 
    Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; 
    Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
    Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; 
    In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me 
    In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me天上人間,噢 主,與我同住

    I love the way at 1.43 - 1.45 she sways her hips from side to side as if summoning every last gasp of breath from her lungs and push of her diaphragm to get those final sublime notes. I'm sorry to anger all the atheists out there but I can't watch this and not think 'I LOVE YOU GOD'. Bless you all.

      As an atheist - don't apologize. We're humans, and as such we're happy if you're happy, it human nature.
