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.
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
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.
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
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.”
I was in a 7th grade saxophone quartet in 1974. Our band director said we sounded like squacking geese. We played once in a nursing home, and we played this song. An old gentleman stood up in the audience and began to sing the words to this song by heart. It was very touching, and I've never forgotten that.
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.
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 first heard thing song in the movie 28 Days Later with Cillian Murphy. LoL. It was perfect for the scene in the movie where he first found out he lost his parents. But what a beautiful song to comfort the sorrowful. I did a Google search and it was interesting too. I love this old hymn. You all did a great job singing this old hymn. It is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
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'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!
Excuse me. Congrats The King's Singers. Four voices sounding vertically like a church organ. Excellent text synchronization and uniform pronunciation. Perfect breathing and phrasing. Congratulations to everyone, especially the countertenor and the bass, perfect middle voices. My best regards from BRZ. Thank you so much.
I remember singing this at a funeral home a little over four decades ago with the family, friends, and acquaintances of a lovely young lady who chose God over living a long and possibly very painful life. God rest you, Clara Gymothy, I wish you every peace and happiness you could not find here with us. In some ways I envy your tremendous courage. Love, to all others . . . ❤ 🎉
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.
Thanks from Valparaiso, Chile, King's Singers. You have wonderful voices and an extraordinary ensemble. Thanks for your contribution to beauty, spirituality and humanity.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Herr, bleib bei mir! Schon ist der Abend da, die Finsternis bricht ein, bleib Du mir nah! Rings schwarze Nacht, es sank des Tages Zier. O Du, der Schwachen Hort, bleib Du bei mir! Strophe 2 Des Lebens kurzer Tag gar schnell sich neigt, der Erde Lust wird matt, ihr Glanz erbleicht. Nur Wechsel und Verwelken seh ich hier, o Du, der ohne Wandel, bleib bei mir! Strophe 3 Dein Nahesein allein mich retten kann, ficht der Versucher meine Seele an. Wer ist mein Stab und Führer außer Dir! Der Sieg ist mein, bist Du, Herr, stets bei mir! Strophe 4 Halt Du Dein Kreuz mir vor, wenn's Auge bricht, zerreiß das Dunkel und führ mich zum Licht. Die Schatten fliehn, dort glänzt des Himmels Tür, im Leben und im Tod, Herr bleib bei mir! Das wäre eine Übersetzung - der Text ist wirklich tiefgehend
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.
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
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.
This was my mum's favorite hymn. May God rest her soul in perfect peace.
Thanks for doing this beautiful piece.

Indeed. I enjoyed my rock 'n roll years, but the softer music made only by human voices makes it easier to fine self easier
Gentlemen - beautifully done. You have made the world a better place today.
I agree
Jesus bless us, sir
Sure did lol
Wunderbar und innig. Danke für dieses Gebet.
Thank you for the privilege of joining you on this.
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.
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!
I appreciate for this holy hymn. I am lost now but I hope someday I found again.
This is my favorite hymn. Thanks King's Singers!

They have wonderful harmonious voices. This hymn is certainly for the Christian's literal night and for night of the soul.
Altos: "OH MY HECK, AN E NATURAL! BLESS YOU! BLESS YOU!"
Beautifully sung, you brilliant musicians.

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
Einfach nur wunderschön 😘❤️❤️❤️🙏
A beautiful hymn and sung to perfection. We sang this at my mum’s funeral.
Så nydelig, vidunderlig vakkert fremført.
Og teksten som en fin bønn og takksigelse til Gud❤❤❤
Oh, lovely, thank you!
The only problem here is, how do you sing along while tears are streaming down your face? Asking for a friend...
One of earth’s glories is to hear these gentlemen sing this marvelous hymn. God be praised!
Un seul mot !!! SUPERBE

I hope that my brother is now in heavenly peace, with this lovely hymn in his ears.
Keep giving us these sing-a-longs, they are great!
I came to the comments to say how much I enjoyed this!
I couldn't have sung along if my life depended on it because it was so beautiful that it made me weep.
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!!!

And i did sing along with the tenor. Thanks for that 😀
Thank you so much for singing beat one of measure 7 in the soprano line as originally written :)
Mooi begin van de dag
So lovely. I enjoyed singing bass along with this.
I don't think any choral group of any size has ever sung this song better. Well done!
world class singers

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...
I am no longer religious, but this song - both music and lyrics - always brings me to tears.

Dear unknown soul ❤
Just look at Jesus and prize Him, for what He done to us. BLESS YOU.❤

Just listen the King s heralds quartet collection album 6,was a unique quartet
Singing this at a funeral this Saturday. Thank you for this rendition!
Bless 🙌🏻 ❤
After my ordeal in the theatre on 4th I now more than ever appreciate this hymn. Abide with me oh Lord
This made me weep. Angelic voices and heavenly harmonies.
In our fraught times, this hymn---and this version in particular---brings such comfort. Thank you.
One of my favorite hymns of all time sung by the group that could do it the most justice. Beautiful.
It is beautiful to have the opportunity to sing with the choir reading the notes, Awesome idea
Jesus loves that song. ❤
I sing along every Morning 🥰
Thank you dearly
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!
Beautiful! We sang thuis hymn at my wifes funeral. J.van Rijnbach Netherlandds
This song really hits my heart
Ich habe die King's Singers vor 2 Jahren in Iserlohn live erlebt, davon zehre ich noch heute! Welch wunderbare Sing- Kultur!
Listening this heavenly choral and thinking of my beloved mum who is in heaven now. 2024 Switzerland.
Simply amazing. Praise be to the Lord!
Spectacular boys!!!! Greetings from Argentina!!!
Whoever assembles this group is a musical genuis. 100% perfect harmony, beautiful.
Each to his own! I loathe everything about the kings singers.
Ein wunderbares Lied ,wunderbar gesungen. Herr bleib bei mir!

The poor altos are sitting here like "Let me spice up one of my three notes for the entire song with a NATURAL!"
We’re sadly used to it. Doesn’t make us any less resentful though.
😂 We love the poor altos
@@misselizabethbennetp2185 and the baritones
Made me laugh! Then, I had to go back and check it out ; it's true!
Ah yes perhaps, but oooooh what a natural, gives you goosebumps every time!
I actually sang along and remembered how much I have missed singing choral music 🥺🥺🥺
what a melodies song, its giving the whole world of love of ALMIGHTY
Hello, King's Singers. One of my favorite hymn tunes. Thank you for sharing.
A deeply meaningful hymn beauitifully sung.
Awesome singing.
May God bless ALL of you more and more.
Wonderful - Thank you for sharing your great singing !

Congratulations! I'm from Brazil.
Wunderschön ❤️ -
Gäbe es doch so viel mehr solche Musik anstelle von Bomben und Krieg 😢
Breathtaking performance! Excellent
What an incredible blend of voices, so beautiful.
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.
