This is my favorite Hymn. I often play this song before going to bed at night. After hearing this Hymn, I always feel comfortable and my mind calms down.
Wow. way to miss the point of the hymn. Amazing how the BBC can't even bring itself to mention his hope in Jesus which is the whole driving message of the hymn! Abide with me is a call to Jesus to be with him as he approaches death and through to eternal life. But it is bizarre that this song of praise to Jesus victory of death is sung at a football match!!
Heh, I can understand why some here are 'miffed' by the BBC's typically atheistic /a-religious coverage- like srsly- *it is a hymn* ... On the other hand; out of the three most obvious videos on youtube concerning this hymn (and its relation to the fa cup) both others border on pontifical sermons... like, I do (kinda) admire seeing such ardent faith in the 21st century, but surely a little variety of perspective isn't so bad? Especially considering the aforementioned century ;)

William henry monk im related to him he is my great grandad he composed this Hymm in 1861
wow! just wow!!
My great grandfather is Henry! So cool, this is part of our history. It’s crazy because I see my face in Henry’s. Nice to meet you Perry.
I love how the British embrace and perpetuate tradition.
I'm in Australia and I always look forward to hearing this hymn before the game.
Henry is my grandfather ❤️
I feel close to him, when I hear his Hymns.
I always liked the tune and never knew that the words beyond the first phrase were so sad.
it's actually also played in indian republic day by indian forces cause it's gandhi's fav hym
Not now though! The Indian government removed this hymn during 2022 national celebrations. Thanks

Wonderful story
Oh thou who changest not abide with me
Was it Henry Light or James Henry Fillmore wrote Abide with me ??
+Ronald Martis Lyte. Updated text, to credit music composer William Henry Monk too.
it was henry lyte that wrote the words it was william henry monk that compost it in 1861
@@perrywilson2897 "compost it in 1861" - consistent with decay all around
Why all the chat during the choir singing? Spoiled the piece.
Bad harmony and bad singing spoiled that. Quivering "vibrato" every time.

3m King George V 1927
Should have been the National anthem instead of the crappy god save the Queen
It's too morbid
