    Wow, this is truly amazing to hear an entire stadium singing praise to our Lord. It gave me goosebumps. I only read about this recently. What an awesome tradition and such a beautiful hymn. I would love to hear this in other sports as well here in Canada and the US. "In life or death abide in." If only more people would come to know Jesus great love for them and have their lives changed forever.

    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 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.

Though I do miss the whole community singing before hand. Having played as a schoolboy in 87, it is a day you must experience and with Abide with me sang so beautyful that great roar at its end that could wake the dead and the teams entering the field, then of course there is 80 mins of rugby to come :)

    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.
