I learned this as a kid in Finnish. It is a soothing melody that can be listened to agein and again. King's Singers do a great service by making these melodies available to us, together with scores.
I'm a 55 years old hungarian man. At first I lstened The King's Singers at 13. Since then I'm fond of it! This is a great prayer! Thanks and blessing!!!
You should listen to them singing "Esti dal". It's an older recording with a different lineup but they sing it so nicely (as you would expect). Also the baritone has such a good Hungarian pronounciation. Ugyanitt bojler eladó (ez amolyan köszönésféle a fiatalok között az interneten, akkor szokták írni, amikor valaki nemzetközi weboldalon Magyarországról beszél, nem árulok igazából bojlert :) )
My mother brought my sister and I to church. The music kept me going. It took a global pandemic that has kept me from missing services and choir rehearsals. Perhaps we can sing through our masks? Thank you, Kings Singers for my daily practice time and the delight of polishing favorites music and falling in in love with new compositions and arrangements. 🎼🎵🎶🎚🎹
My mother developed Alzheimer's and could not recognize her daughters. Her beautiful singing voice and reading of bed time stories became a monotone with indication that the words she did remember ment nothing to her. However, prior to her death she kept repeating one word over and over with feeling and emotion: "Jesus, Jesus, . . .
I'm listening to this hymn again and again and again... Tears flow, cannot stop it. Such a comfort, such a peace, such a beauty... God bless you, guys.
So schön gesungen. Gott segne euch und eure Familien. Wir werden bestimmt auf der neuen Erde zusammen singen und Gott loben. Darauf freue ich mich sehr. LG, Christine
One of my favourite hymns, sung at Remembrance Day ceremonies and at my mother's funeral. It was lovely to be able to sing along with the King's Singers.
Although I myself am a Christian, I think you don't need to profess Christian faith to appreciate this hymn. Listen to the words, for example. Anyone who can feel sympathetic for human suffering will love and cherish this song. Absolutely one of my favourites. Thanks King's Singers for sharing this. May peace be upon us all who are here listening to this. 🎉
Masters of phraseology and timing. Singing along you get a strong sense of how much competence goes into getting this crucial part of a song just right.
I sang this to my late grandma on the hospital bed. Nobody knows when I sang quietly to her. I pray Father is taking good care of her. “Ah Ma.. (grandma) hope you are doing fine in heaven.”
Have you heard The Redeemed quartet? They all have beautiful voices, but the Bass is absolutely so beautiful. I always feel so blessed after listening to them.
@@bankerb1945 I ll have to look it up Linda. . I'm a choir head Linda. .we had a great bass but died out n some lost afraid of Covid. Now kind of a one man bass . And I don't fancy the sound that terrible much. It's blooming hard to recruit basses.
@joehowell6530 well joe you would be welcome to join me and sing bass if you were anyplace round but you v hardly are! Choral is the most life affirming thing really
This song was sung at my mother's funeral, I was 14 years old and for the longest time this song would make me cry. My mom was just 36 years old when she died at home in her sleep.
So sorry for your loss here on earth. 😥💔🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾❤🩹❤🕊 I love "Abide with me" so much also. Best rendition I ever heard was from a war movie. All the wounded soldiers were sitting & lying on the ground singing it at the end of the war, waiting to be taken home.
Just beautiful. I used to sing as a tenor in a church choir before having to move away. This recording with music notation really makes me miss the choir.
I'm putting this in my funeral (in lieu of) playlist. So perfect. I can hardly believe I had the honor of singing on the same stage with (4 of) you in 2017 at summer school USA!
Thanks from Valparaiso, Chile, King's Singers. You have wonderful voices and an extraordinary ensemble. Thanks for your contribution to beauty, spirituality and humanity.
Magnificently sung. I have had this on repeat most of the evening on this, the first anniversary of my father passing. Thank you for providing something for me to appropriately pass this difficult time.
Thank you for this. During the pandemic, music has become all the more important in my life. And, not just any music, but music with meaning. And music that I can participate in. It feels life saving. I hope you continue to put music here for everybody to encounter. Thank you for the comfort of it.
The problem of showing the music is that you realise that they have totally disregarded the dynamic markings. The performance is well blended and smooth but with very little soul and feeling. Good to listen to as a background music but poor as a means of communication.
I sang this (along with 100,000 others) at the 1976 FA Cup final. It was an incredible feeling with both sets of fans singing joyously. Thanks for this beautiful rendition of my favourite hymn. God bless you and keep you.
Superlatives would fail. Simply beautiful. Thank you for putting this together, and keeping the simplicity and purity of the song without trying to "modernize" it. This is a song I'd listen to on my deathbed.
Growing up singing this hymn it remains a favorite. It is common for various renderings to be published and verses added and deleted over time. I’ve noted in several renderings (including this one)that a favorite verse is omitted: 4 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. Well done and keep the hymns coming!
Seeing the notes while listening reminds me of my time in a boy`s choir more than 30 years ago. I tried to sing along each voice - sounds terrible, but it works. Thanks for the fun, guys!
By far, this is no Easter hymn! This is definitely a hymn of comfort, a reminder of God's never-ending faithfulness in a world filled with sin and death.
This is great for those of us who want to practice a part but too shy to actually do it in church . Or there’s no hymn book there. Hope you do more Sing A Long videos!
I can't express how happy finding this piece made me today! The truth of the song has been a comfort during this weird time, but I've struggling to find a truly beautiful arrangement. And then this showed up! :D Thank you so much.
Die deutsche Version "Bleib bei mir, Herr, denn es will Abend werden" wurde auf meinen Wunsch hin am 09.07.2022 bei der Trauerfeier für meine Mutter gesungen.
Certainly feel The Spirit of The Lord. So very Loving and grateful to have such wonderful hymns to be able to listen to and sing. Thank you King Singers for sharing your wonderful talent.

I remember starting to sing this hymn when i was a little boy. I'm now 70 and still remember the words. These gentlemen did a beautiful job.
I learned this as a kid in Finnish. It is a soothing melody that can be listened to agein and again. King's Singers do a great service by making these melodies available to us, together with scores.
This crystal-clear voice of the soprano boy is fantastically beautiful, simply marvellous.
-they are all grown ups - even fathers -
Harmonious music is one of the great glories of the Universe.
This is what we need to be hearing more of in these dystopian times. Beautiful.
I'm a 55 years old hungarian man. At first I lstened The King's Singers at 13. Since then I'm fond of it! This is a great prayer! Thanks and blessing!!!
They seem to get younger! :-)

This was my mum's favorite hymn. May God rest her soul in perfect peace.
Thanks for doing this beautiful piece.
Edwin: for your Mum🌹
S Doc: for your Dad🌾👇🏿
"Dales Señor el descanso eterno,
Y que brille para ella y para él la Luz Perpetua"

@S Doc please accept my condolences and prayers for your father and the thousands who have died in this global plague.
Indeed. I enjoyed my rock 'n roll years, but the softer music made only by human voices makes it easier to fine self easier
I appreciate for this holy hymn. I am lost now but I hope someday I found again.
I'm listening to this hymn again and again and again... Tears flow, cannot stop it. Such a comfort, such a peace, such a beauty...
God bless you, guys.
It is wonderful, a masterpiece!
They have wonderful harmonious voices. This hymn is certainly for the Christian's literal night and for night of the soul.
Gentlemen - beautifully done. You have made the world a better place today.
I agree
Jesus bless us, sir
Sure did lol
Beautifully sung. Thank you for preserving this hymn in its original arrangement.
Excuse me. Congratulations The king's Singers. Wonderful Song. Perfect. Greetings from BRZ🇧🇷
So schön gesungen. Gott segne euch und eure Familien. Wir werden bestimmt auf der neuen Erde zusammen singen und Gott loben. Darauf freue ich mich sehr. LG, Christine
You should include it in your next album release, it’d be superb!
je cerce les paroles Merci
Great
One of earth’s glories is to hear these gentlemen sing this marvelous hymn. God be praised!
One of my favourite hymns, sung at Remembrance Day ceremonies and at my mother's funeral. It was lovely to be able to sing along with the King's Singers.
I’m not religious but I know a fantastic piece of music when I hear one

This hymn belongs to the Catholic tradition! It is used in Germany under the name "Bleib bei mir" and in Italy "resta con me signore".
@@stefanoperrotta3042 LOL, no. It was written by an Anglican priest.
@@Mark-xh8md Yes of course, I wasn't referring to the composer. Rather than the frequency with which it is performed :)
@@stefanoperrotta3042 what does that even mean
@@Adonai_Jehovah nothing special.. I meant that many communities still sing this hymn whose beauty is preserved throughout history...
The only problem here is, how do you sing along while tears are streaming down your face? Asking for a friend...
I couldn't have sung along if my life depended on it because it was so beautiful that it made me weep.
Masters of phraseology and timing. Singing along you get a strong sense of how much competence goes into getting this crucial part of a song just right.
Just listen the King s heralds quartet collection album 6,was a unique quartet
Thank you for the privilege of joining you on this.
This is my favorite hymn. Thanks King's Singers!

I sang this to my late grandma on the hospital bed. Nobody knows when I sang quietly to her. I pray Father is taking good care of her. “Ah Ma.. (grandma) hope you are doing fine in heaven.”
Altos: "OH MY HECK, AN E NATURAL! BLESS YOU! BLESS YOU!"
Beautifully sung, you brilliant musicians.
😅
This was one of my mother's favorite hymns. I sang it at her funeral. Such comfort to know that God remains with us in life and into death.
A beautiful hymn and sung to perfection. We sang this at my mum’s funeral.
Musical Perfection
Gentlemen ❤
I am no longer religious, but this song - both music and lyrics - always brings me to tears.
Защо спря религията 😊
Dear unknown soul ❤
Just look at Jesus and prize Him, for what He done to us. BLESS YOU.❤
@@eissolbe Thank you for your kind thoughts. I do mostly like Jesus. :)
same here, dear hanna! And the hymn is so beautifully sung, isn´t it? Best wishes!
@@02sanja ❤
Beautifully sung.
Gorgeous bass in that hymn. Hard to find beautiful bass singers now.
Have you heard The Redeemed quartet? They all have beautiful voices, but the Bass is absolutely so beautiful. I always feel so blessed after listening to them.

Choral is the most life affirming thing really
One of my favorite hymns of all time sung by the group that could do it the most justice. Beautiful.
In our fraught times, this hymn---and this version in particular---brings such comfort. Thank you.
After my ordeal in the theatre on 4th I now more than ever appreciate this hymn. Abide with me oh Lord
Wunderbar und innig. Danke für dieses Gebet.
I hope that my brother is now in heavenly peace, with this lovely hymn in his ears.
This made me weep. Angelic voices and heavenly harmonies.
I actually sang along and remembered how much I have missed singing choral music 🥺🥺🥺
Keep giving us these sing-a-longs, they are great!
I came to the comments to say how much I enjoyed this!
Am a violinist and I shed a tear with such a beautiful rendition of this piece. Thank you!

This song was sung at my mother's funeral, I was 14 years old and for the longest time this song would make me cry. My mom was just 36 years old when she died at home in her sleep.
The God of all hope and comfort, comfort you 🌹
May God rest her soul and give you His peace that surpasses all understanding.
I' ill pray for you... It's the only thing I can do
I sing along every Morning 🥰
Thank you dearly
We had this for my mums recent funeral,she was carried in to this, it was amazing!!!.She so loved ‘Abide with me’.I do too!!!
So sorry for your loss here on earth. 😥💔🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾❤🩹❤🕊 I love "Abide with me" so much also. Best rendition I ever heard was from a war movie. All the wounded soldiers were sitting & lying on the ground singing it at the end of the war, waiting to be taken home.
Just beautiful. I used to sing as a tenor in a church choir before having to move away. This recording with music notation really makes me miss the choir.
It is beautiful to have the opportunity to sing with the choir reading the notes, Awesome idea
Simply amazing. Praise be to the Lord!
I'm putting this in my funeral (in lieu of) playlist. So perfect. I can hardly believe I had the honor of singing on the same stage with (4 of) you in 2017 at summer school USA!
Wow! What an honour!
Whoever assembles this group is a musical genuis. 100% perfect harmony, beautiful.
Each to his own! I loathe everything about the kings singers.
Tears in my eyes !! Beautiful !!
So many chills running up my spine, wow!
Singing this at a funeral this Saturday. Thank you for this rendition!
Bless 🙌🏻 ❤
Thanks from Valparaiso, Chile, King's Singers. You have wonderful voices and an extraordinary ensemble. Thanks for your contribution to beauty, spirituality and humanity.
So lovely. I enjoyed singing bass along with this.
Magnificently sung. I have had this on repeat most of the evening on this, the first anniversary of my father passing. Thank you for providing something for me to appropriately pass this difficult time.
Beautiful, and thank you for the music and words.
New subscriber here.. from India nagaland.. May God bless all the listeners..do continue to proclaim His Glory.. Amen
Be blessed 🙏🙏
Hello, King's Singers. One of my favorite hymn tunes. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this. During the pandemic, music has become all the more important in my life. And, not just any music, but music with meaning. And music that I can participate in. It feels life saving. I hope you continue to put music here for everybody to encounter. Thank you for the comfort of it.
I love this new series of Singing with you. It is such a joy to read the music and follow along. Please make lots more, it is a lifesaver!
I was able to sing a different part for each verse.
Yes! Please have some more.
The problem of showing the music is that you realise that they have totally disregarded the dynamic markings. The performance is well blended and smooth but with very little soul and feeling. Good to listen to as a background music but poor as a means of communication.
Un seul mot !!! SUPERBE
what a melodies song, its giving the whole world of love of ALMIGHTY
Thank you, Gentlemen! Superb in every respect.
Simple yet so beautiful
I sang this (along with 100,000 others) at the 1976 FA Cup final. It was an incredible feeling with both sets of fans singing joyously. Thanks for this beautiful rendition of my favourite hymn. God bless you and keep you.
Perfect harmony in this rendition of the classic hymn.
Superlatives would fail. Simply beautiful. Thank you for putting this together, and keeping the simplicity and purity of the song without trying to "modernize" it. This is a song I'd listen to on my deathbed.
I sang it to my grandma on her death bed. It was very comforting to her.
Simply celestial!
Wonderful - Thank you for sharing your great singing !
so beautiful.....one of the best performance I've ever heard...
blessing !!.....
Spectacular boys!!!! Greetings from Argentina!!!
Thanks... My favourite hymn... Does make one feel very sad.
Ich habe die King's Singers vor 2 Jahren in Iserlohn live erlebt, davon zehre ich noch heute! Welch wunderbare Sing- Kultur!
As always, so ever perfectly beautiful. I wish someone would sing this at my own funeral - I'll put it in my Will! Love you guys big time!
Beautiful! We sang thuis hymn at my wifes funeral. J.van Rijnbach Netherlandds
Growing up singing this hymn it remains a favorite. It is common for various renderings to be published and verses added and deleted over time. I’ve noted in several renderings (including this one)that a favorite verse is omitted:
4
I need Thy presence every passing hour:
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me.
Well done and keep the hymns coming!
Yes this is a verse I like too. Many find the focus on @the temptor does not fit with their theology
I like these singers very much. They have divine voices, which is good for the soul.
So beautiful voices! My wish is God blesses you all and your families.
Seeing the notes while listening reminds me of my time in a boy`s choir more than 30 years ago. I tried to sing along each voice - sounds terrible, but it works. Thanks for the fun, guys!
Love it! Give us more!
definetly one of the most beautiful pieces i´ve ever heard. thank you so much for that!
Oh, thank you for this. It makes my heart and soul sing, although my 80-year old voice has lost its strength.❤
thank you for the beautiful praise
Absolutely beautiful. That's one of my favorite hymns. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and testimony.
I always find this hymn quite sad but that rendition was beautiful. Thanks guys
By far, this is no Easter hymn! This is definitely a hymn of comfort, a reminder of God's never-ending faithfulness in a world filled with sin and death.
This song really hits my heart
Absolutely beautiful. Goosebumps! Miss singing with a full choir. This is one of my favorite hymns.
Einfach nur wunderschön 😘❤️❤️❤️🙏
Your singing of this special hymn gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your God-given talent.
So moving! Absolutely beautiful 🙏🙏🙏
love these
This song and performance is touching my heart. I'v heard it from my childhood and it bring goog memories ❤️
This is great for those of us who want to practice a part but too shy to actually do it in church . Or there’s no hymn book there. Hope you do more Sing A Long videos!
Awesome singing.
May God bless ALL of you more and more.
Flabbergasted. Incredible and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I can't express how happy finding this piece made me today! The truth of the song has been a comfort during this weird time, but I've struggling to find a truly beautiful arrangement. And then this showed up! :D Thank you so much.
For another beautiful version listen to this. Very appropriate during these times. ua-cam.com/video/kkXI-8no9ZE/v-deo.html
