Sing along with The King's Singers: Abide with me

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. 🎉

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".
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.
This is what we need to be hearing more of in these dystopian times. Beautiful.
Beautifully sung. Thank you for preserving this hymn in its original arrangement.

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, . . .

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.

Thank you for the privilege of joining you on this.
They have wonderful harmonious voices. This hymn is certainly for the Christian's literal night and for night of the soul.
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.
One of earth’s glories is to hear these gentlemen sing this marvelous hymn. God be praised!
I actually sang along and remembered how much I have missed singing choral music 🥺🥺🥺
I appreciate for this holy hymn. I am lost now but I hope someday I found again.
The only problem here is, how do you sing along while tears are streaming down your face? Asking for a friend...
This is my favorite hymn. Thanks King's Singers!

Musical Perfection Gentlemen ❤
After my ordeal in the theatre on 4th I now more than ever appreciate this hymn. Abide with me oh Lord
A beautiful hymn and sung to perfection. We sang this at my mum’s funeral.
I couldn't have sung along if my life depended on it because it was so beautiful that it made me weep.
In our fraught times, this hymn---and this version in particular---brings such comfort. Thank you.
I hope that my brother is now in heavenly peace, with this lovely hymn in his ears.
Wunderbar und innig. Danke für dieses Gebet.
One of my favorite hymns of all time sung by the group that could do it the most justice. Beautiful.
Thanks a lot for this moment in my life.
This made me weep. Angelic voices and heavenly harmonies.
Beautifully sung. Gorgeous bass in that hymn. Hard to find beautiful bass singers now.

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.
Thanks from Valparaiso, Chile, King's Singers. You have wonderful voices and an extraordinary ensemble. Thanks for your contribution to beauty, spirituality and humanity.
Beautiful men voices
Extraordinary. Bravi

Beautiful, and thank you for the music and words.
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.
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!
Thanks... My favourite hymn... Does make one feel very sad.
Beautiful! We sang thuis hymn at my wifes funeral. J.van Rijnbach Netherlandds
Brilliant singing, and thank you for giving us the chance to sing along following the music with you. Better than choirs who are all in masks!
Mooi begin van de dag
Just what I needed this morning, thanks!
This song was played at my Grandfather's funeral,it was one of his favorites. The memories hearing it every time...
I like these singers very much. They have divine voices, which is good for the soul.
My mother went on to be with the Lord when I was only 31, after cancer that returned from 10 years prior when I was in college. I am so glad my wife and young daughters got to know her, even if only briefly. I will never forget this hymn at her memorial service, nor at my father's that followed 16 years later to join her in glory. The greatest gift they gave me was a loving Christian home, my baptism, and where I was raised and taught about God's love through Christ Jesus our Lord. Whether in life or in death, my Lord will always abide with me.

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.
Absolutely beautiful. Goosebumps! Miss singing with a full choir. This is one of my favorite hymns.
Absolutely beautiful. That's one of my favorite hymns. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and testimony.
