Please return back to your first love, not to religion but to Jesus. Repent before it's too late! Don't be deceived by doctrines of demons or seduced to fleshly desires. Repent and SIN no more!
When I was at school I said to my music teacher that I didn't want to sing this hymn because it made me cry. He replied "So, you understand the song?" I still cry 50 years later.
Listening this song from a hospital cabin. My wife delivered our 2nd baby amid the coronavirus resurgence in Mizoram. Its amazing how the Lord abides with us. When befallen by difficulties and we thought our plans have failed, He makes us see that His ways are better than ours'. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
I remember after a particularly rough day, after my husband died, I fell to my knees, crying and singing this song. Somehow it gave me the strength to get back up. Very grateful for that.
I'm encouraged that the Lord used the words of this hymn to help you carry on and I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Also, for the information of you and others who view this, there is another verse in this hymn that precedes the last verse and the lyrics thereof are as follows: I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power? Who but Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. Plus, I can't say enough of how grateful I am to the Lord for His faithfulness in standing beside me and guiding me through this COVID 19 crisis with His light from above and I know that He will bring it to an end in His perfectly wise time and when He sees that it has accomplished the work for which He purposed it. To Him be praise for His glorious reign! 🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️⛪
I am a backsliding Christian battling p*rn addiction, depression and brain fog. When the darkness deepens, I cry out to the Lord and He is there for me each time. Jesus is the Answer to every crisis in life
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:10-11 (NKJV) I can find myself in your shoes brother. I pray that may in the Holy name of our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ may we be truly transformed to live for Him & do our Heavenly Father's will. Because it is written in His Holy Word that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away and all things have become new. II Cor. 5:17 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)
Awesome testimony! So glad that you now believe and understand 😊...Jesus is our only help in times of trouble, we all need Him in our lives and ask Him for help with a humble heart
So very sorry for your loss.. he's just gone for a while and then you both will be in eternity forever with our dear Savior. Imagine what great things your loved one is seeing right now! Come Lord Jesus! And thankfully we are comforted by Him now 😊🙏🙏🙏
My mother passed away unexpectedly last night. I found this hymn today. Lord, please, show me mercy and give me peace. Abide with me, Lord, for your servant needs you!!
Kade Pierce: Perhaps it is Divine Providence that led you to find this masterpiece of a hymnal message now. I am sorry for your sadness here on Earth, but please rejoice that your mother is happily in the presence and care of Our Lord. 💜🕊️💜
The Lord will abide in life and in death. I too lost my Mum this year, 10 mths ago. I am still in pain when I think of the moments of her passing. But this hymn describes that when earth's pain ebbs away, Heaven's morning breaks. We say goodbye, but there is a grand welcoming ceremony over there.
I am a Catholic, who was once lost after walking the wrong way. I fell into temptation and carried many mortal sins on my back. It left me with nothingness, no where to go to. My depression became very severe in March 2022 and I gave myself room to heal. It felt awkward as a Catholic since I once thought of leaving God for a hedonistic life. I was drowned in shame, a little bit like Judas, but in the end, a few unfortunate events in life caused me to seek refuge in God's arms. My God's arms, and no other. It was during my darkest hours, Lord Jesus appeared before me in my dreams. I cried. As I am writing this, I realised how wrong I was to leave in the first place, when my Lord had never forsaken me. I want to return to God. I want to rely on my Lord Jesus again. Everything that I have been through, I don't have the energy to carry that burden alone. I don't have the strength to carry my sins. I need Jesus to hold my hands and open my blind eyes so I can trust him again. I am coming back, Father. Your servant faithfully follows you from now on.
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
For every bruised soul stranded in Afghanistan, especially the ones held captive by their faith in Christ Jesus. We are praying and crying with you. Be strong!
I am a northern Englishman. Nothing, literally NOTHING has ever made me cry in my adult life. The history and delivery of this song is the first thing that has. More beautiful than I could ever put into words.
Another commenter posted "Tears are prayers, too, when we cannot find the words to speak." God bless you and praise to the One who also wept Himself, and knows the depths of all our sorrows.
My favorite song. Forever. My mother would sing this as a lullaby & I would fall asleep in a few minutes.. I now know why she would sing it.. looking back.. I miss her. Life is difficult but God is always faithful.
January 1st of 2022 I was listening to this for comfort because of covid19. God is still God even when all is going bad, and this song reminded me of that
The loss of a parent is such a terrible pain, and I’m so sorry to hear you lost your wonderful mother. I’m a ‘mummy’s boy’ myself and mine is the most important person in the world to me. Rest assured, she is now at peace, and you will see her again when your time comes ❤️ I’m sure you’re making her proud
This hymn was played at my dads funeral when I was 6 remember it like it was yesterday 37 years later I still miss my dad and this hymn still breaks my heart 💔
I went to a Christian Missionary school (India). We would sing this in the morning assembly. This has so many memories. Also, this was Mahatma Gandhi's favourite hymn.
I don't know why this made me CRY, I was travelling in the college bus, and in my deep loneliness in my mind it made me realise the LOVE OF GOD. I pretended to yawn in the bus to do not let my friends know that I was CRYING. "Tears are prayers too, they travel to God when we couldn't speak" ~Psalms.
Charles Spurgeon called tears, "liquid prayer!" So beautiful when words are not sufficient, tears speak volumes! This has comforted my heart many times as the burdens I was carrying were lifted up to my LORD, who alone csn bear them for me! Be blessed!
My wife passed away in May of 2020 and everyday without her has been an enormous struggle. Wife, best friend, confidante, soul mate, life partner, she was everything to me and she died so young and unexpectedly. Life is without joy, love and peace and I do not feel any sense of purpose or meaning. Listening to this hymn now made me weep bitterly. All the memories of my sweetheart came flooding back however the assurance that the Father is always with us and pointed to the sky and called her home when she closed her eyes on earth for the last time and opened them in Paradise for the first time, strengthens me. Thank you Father God in Yeshua Your Son's name Amen. Shalom 🙏
Sorry for your loss Vinil... May the Almighty continue to grant you fortitude to bear the burden of your dear wife's absence. And may she (continue to) find peace in the great beyond.
Jesus is always there to run to, I've found. But sometimes it's hard to run to him when we run after other things too much. But he's always there and always will be there.
(Edited, please see the new paragraph) I'm not religious, but this song means a lot to me. It's always played at the Challenge Cup Rugby League final, and my Grandad always used to stand and sing it, and now he cant due to Alzheimers, so I learned to sing it for him. So, unfortunately my grandfather passed away this year thanks to the Coronavirus. This song, though not this version, was played at his funeral. I sang with eyes filled with tears. I just want to say thanks to everyone who posted nice replies to this comment. Even if I dont share your faith, your kind words really touched me. Thank you. RIP Grandad.
My name is Karl.I just read your comment.This Song means a lot to me also.My Father passed in 2017.At the Funeral Home where my Father laid in his Coffin,the Song(without the words) was played.I could'nt figure out the name until I came on this RU-vid site.I found the name.Listening to this Song with the words is even more touching.I am always reminded of my Fathers passing whenever I listen to this Song.My Father had Dementia before his passing.I am soooo sorry about your Father Alzheimer disease.I pray he gets better.Have a Blessed Day
The midnight my wife died, I sang Abide with me more than 40 times before daybreak. I wept all through the night and could not be consoled. My toughest experience in life.
I have told my husband that this is the hymn that I would like played at my memorial service …. I am not having a funeral, just a small family affair …. This became my favourite hymn when I was going through an extremely traumatic time in my life when I was in my late twenties. I’m nearing 70 now, & I still love this hymn. “In life, In death, oh Lord, Abide with me” ……..
Bless you, I hope you have lived the best possible life 😊 it sounds like you have! This is a brilliant song to choose, and I’m sure it will bring comfort to your family
2 years ago I suffered severe anxiety and depression so much that I wished and prayed for death at all time, and had suicidal thoughts as well. I heard this song playing over the radio, and that was the beginning of my life changing encounter with God. He abides with us always no matter the situation.
Dear people one year back i happily commented here that god gave me the man whom i loved for 7 years and we were happily married , but now with heavy heart and tears im praying to god that god must give him back to me with same love he had for me because now he has filed for diVorce and the first hearing is on next week , please everybody who reads this keep me and my husband cheran in your prayers may god give him good heart n wisdom to look good ...amen ...please keep us in your prayers
To my great friend Steve K. who passed away suddenly in Toronto on April the 15th 2021.. Rest in Eternal Glory. This was one of his favorite hymns. May the good Lord embrace his family through this deeply tragic time..
The comments of your favorite hymn on social media offers more value and encouragement than all the rest of social media combined. Thank you Lord for your army of faithful saints.
As Salamu Alaikum 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 Thank you for recognising a beautiful truth. May The Almighty Lord shower us all with divine compassion, empathy and above all mutual understanding and respect! 🛐🕉️☪️✝️☯️☦️🕎🔯✡️☸️⚛️🕊️🏵️🌼🌻🌸🌹💮🌺❤️🌏🌎🌍🧿
I have my Nans funeral and helping to carry the casket tomorrow, this is one of her favourite songs and will be played at the service. You are safe in the arms of the father ❤🙏 RIP Norma Penman
I remember the time i was n ICU... In 2020 when there was lockdown use to listen to this song... And fall asleep I lost all hope of getting well....but the grace of GOD has brought me this far😢
If I die young, I hope there’s someone to hum this hymn over what’s left of me. May whoever reads this find health, wealth, peace, healing, love, solitude or any of your heart’s desires. You are loved beyond your capacity to rationalize or understand. I love you. Be at peace and in your nature.❤
The world is so full of hate and pain, how can I stay strong and remain kind, while abide in love towards those who have hurt me? I needed this music, it's my favorite rendition.
I understand why this song means so much to so many. If it can pull at my fundamentally atheist heart strings, then it's gonna go deep into someone with faith. Gorgeous song.
My best friend died from cancer in july. He was such an important person to me and still is. I miss him more and more and each day. We went through highs and lows, he was always by my side, no matter what. He would do anything to make me happy, to make me feel safe. I played this version at his funeral. I hope that grief will get better someday. I will never ever forget him and will always love him. Audrey, you are truly gifted. Thank you for this beautiful version.
My Father died of Tubercolosis, he wanted to get well again but couldn't...... And left for permanent abode..... He wanted this song to be sung in his funeral so we did.... Dad we miss you... Thank you so much for your prayers... From Mom and me... And Thank you girl.
I lost my dad too, under different circumstances but I know how painful the experience is. Your father picked a beautiful song for his funeral though and I hope it brought yourself and your family some comfort. May he rest in peace, until you meet again ❤️
I heard this hymn my mother sang sitting on her bed before she slept.. I love it. It brings many memories of her beautiful life when I listen this now. Yesterday was her death anniversary. I heard it many times Thanks. You sang it beautifully.
Things are going on today that's unheard of,I need the lord 🙏 now more than ever and prayer and faith is the key and believing 🙏 is be having hallelujah ❤️ amen.
A great hymn. Today, first time I heard it. I was not aware it's favorite of mahatma Gandhiji. And, its played on 26th January. It's learn, Now, it's stopped by the present Central Govt. Really, it's great soothing heart hymn
It's a great step. We should also drop western instruments next and play our traditional ones on the march. We can play our flute and our indeigenous percussion instruments. We will rebuild our culture and our civilization.
This has always been a favourite hymn of mine. It means more to me now since my dad passed away a couple of weeks ago. I am a full grown adult and I feel so helpless. It seemed like nothing could bring him down. Until a freak accident where he fell off his bike took him from us. I hurt when I dwell on it. I think that will keep happening for a while yet. But I find myself singing this song when I'm at my lowest and somehow I can pull through for one more minute, one more hour, one more day. I'm glad to know it. Thank you for posting.
My beautiful mum adored this hymn and told me repeatedly, many years ago, it was her favourite and that she wanted it to be played at her funeral. She sadly passed away last week, and upon looking for a version befitting of the occasion and the lovely gentle soul she was, I found this, Audrey's incredible recording. It will be played at the funeral next week, and I cannot be more thankful to have found it. Mum would have thought this was perfection. Thank you.
This might be weird, and i only just read your post, even though the funeral was over a month ago, I'll keep you on my prayer list that the Lord will comfort and continue to comfort you during this difficult time. I pray that His Holy Spirit will give you a peace so great that only you know is from Him. I did not know you mom, but I look forward to meeting her one day when with The Lord Jesus.
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous arrangement. You have captured the connection that we have with the Holy Spirit. When my beautiful son died, I was lost. I sat in front of the piano and sang this hymn, & also "Great is Thy Faithfulness" over and over. It was what kept my eyes on HIM and not the horrible circumstances of what I have had to face. I leaned on HIM & I AM ALIVE because of hymns like this. This reminds me that HE took my sins & my burdens on the cross. The Father is so good. Psalm 30:11-12 "You have turned my sorrow into joyful dancing. No longer am I sad and wearing sackcloth. I thank you from my heart, and I will never stop singing your praises, my LORD and my God". Fight with HIS sword of truth, & when in doubt, cry it out. HE is always listening. Love to all of you. 💕💕
I was feeling sad and I don't know how this song just came up in my mind...Life has never ending problems but know that the Lord God is always with us ❤
May we turn to Jesus Christ, the Master Healer, at this time in world history when the coronavirus has brought sorrow, death, and ruin to many worldwide. I know the power of Christ is greater than all these things we see in our world today. I am going to pray and fast for the help of God in our struggling world.
@@franmorrison1080 Jesus is returning and will bring peace, but it's dangerous to emphasise that over the fact that Antichrist will come and decieve the world with false peace and safety first. Revelation says that the overwhelming majority of the earth's population will have been killed by then, and that without His return cutting short the time of the Tribulation the entire human race would have been wiped out. Additionally, Jesus is bringing eternal peace only to those who know Him and accept Him as their savior but He's not returning as an amazing world-leader who will bring political, cultural and religious unity and peace - that's what the Antichrist will do, before letting everyone know that they've been tricked and he's out to kill, steal and destroy.
Deacon Davenport.I love her voice,but theirs much more it's a spiritual feeling like nothing else.It,s the Holy Spirit connecting with my spirit and oh my God hallelujah 🙏 amen.
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, Lord, abide with me.
God's blessings to you Audrey Assad!! I have not stopped playing this song, many times on the loop, most days for the past 5 years. Its priceless...saved my life!!!
I lost my father on Christmas Eve, save to say it will never be the same. However, he had faith in Jesus Christ and I know he is now experiencing bliss we here on Earth can’t even imagine. While I miss him terribly, I take refuge in the Lord and know I will see my father again. Praise be to Almighty God and His only begotten Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! If anyone else comes across this comment please know above anything else you are loved and cherished by a loving Father in Heaven. I know He abides with me every minute of every day. I love you Dad and can’t wait to see you again.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. It’s such a painful experience to lose a father, especially at that time of year. But you are right. He is in the arms of the Lord now, and I’m sure he is waiting patiently and comfortably to see you and your loved ones again ❤️
This British's Hymn , one of the favorite of Mahatma Gandhi being played in each year during Indian Republic day celebrations was sadly removed since last year , this is indeed a Christian Hymn and touched millions of people
What is sad in it? Why India should carry its colonial era things going forward.. P.S. personally I love the hymn and nothing against christianity either
I remember after my brekup i was totally shattered... She was my everything. But in the end some relationships are not meant to stay forever... Now i am healed .. to everyone out there struggling... Hope you find the one !! Wishing you a happy life !
Thank you Audrey this was the favourite song of my mother who put my small Bible in my backpack as I left home and in due time I came to Jesus ithrough reading Galatians 5:1
This song helped me when I was drinking everyday after I lost my child and then my beloved dog, alex. Aubrey's faith may have shifted, but the mood she created with this rendition will outlive her and be a guide for lost men like me for decades to come.
AMEN. THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST...i need thee every hour.. every moment by moment... I can't live without You LORD JESUS CHRIST I love you. THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST for being with me IMMANUEL. 🙏🙏
What an assurance we have in our Lord Jesus Christ, the One and Only God, our Only Savior, Our All in All, the One who has loved us beyond all measures!
@@kicksomeup6998 ........Vishnu got deshavatars...in which vamana,parashuram,ram,Krishna, bhalaramaand Kali are only in complete human form....mathsya,varaha,kurma and narasimha are not ...which one is Christ....pls don't make others laugh at our religion.... after all ur name tells everything....
@@Surya-bz2mw Dude, my point is that they should pray to Vishnu instead of Christ if Christ is an avatar of Vishnu, just cut out the middleman if that is the case. I'm not making fun of either religion, I'm only making fun of stupid people that are members of both religions who do this to themselves and their co-religionists.
Deacon Davenport.This song just touches my heart 💜 and soul.The way she sings it.Let,s me know God is abiding with me at all times,what a blessed assurance,and Master Assurance hallelujah any how amen.
It is my understanding that this hymn was written by Reverend Henry Francis Lyte as he was dying from Tuberculosis. He also wrote music for it, but it is most often sung to the tune "Eventide" by William Henry Monk. The hymn brings great comfort in times of sorrow.
This song is Beautiful. Thank you for singing it. I liked the 3rd and 4th verses, it is different than the one I learned when I was younger. I am a soldier so especially liked the 3rd verse: "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." Thank you again you sing like an Angel.
Jason, there is a wonderful God Who created you and loves you and desires a relationship with you. So much so that he died with your sins and mine so that we might be saved. As I said many years ago to my atheist, physician husband, " If there is a God, and where you spend eternity is determined by what is in the bible, don't you think that it is worth looking into? " He took a long pause and said, " yes." It took him a couple of years, but he did and for 20 yrs he's been a pastor. If you have any desire to know the living God and truth, ask and He will show himself to you. Get yourself a King James Bible, start in the Gospel of John and go forward from there. Jesus said, " What shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul? " If this song brings tears to your eyes, you must have a soft heart and the Lord is trying to draw you to himself. Our website is: graceandtruthchurch.org .

@@deborahcesar8567 the oldest club football in the history of the world is the Fa Cup, a knockout/bracket competition in England, its where a non league side made up of milkmen and post men can be drawn against multi billion pound teams. After months of matches 2 teams will fight it out to win this trophy starting at 3pm on a hot Saturday in May, but without fail since 1927 at 14:45 everyone in attendance at Wembley will sing this hymn. Its one of those curious things, not so much now but up till the nimeties everyone in stadium would sing along, gives me goosebumps every single time.
Sometimes if I try to share my Catholic Christian faith with others and try to tell them what I believe in, some people unfortunately who are pessimistic and say something that’s not encouraging and helpful and I get emotionally discouraged and upset and almost start crying. But my mom encourages me not let pessimistic people get in my way. And tells me to cheer up and tomorrow is another new day.
Wow I like love this song,It makes me remember about my grandma when I was young, she used to sing me this song to make me go to sleep 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Grandma taught this to my mom and my taught me and I wish to pass this to my children ,It has alot of connection to my childhood ...reciting and singing this song as I lay down to sleep ❤️✨
I thought we were the only ones. Me and my siblings still sing this song before our sleep even as we have turned old. And will be teaching my children too. May God Bless us all.
Abide with me, those were the words the writer of this hymn heard, over and over as he sat by the bedside of a man who lay dying. He was saying stay with me, stay with me...and that was where the writer drew his inspiration from, when he wrote this hymn.
This is beautiful and is helping me through my grandmother’s death. She made it to the age of 95 and was in good health until the last year or so of her life, so I am grateful for that but it doesn’t stop it being really hard. I was very close to her and she was a friend to me as well as my grandmother. I will always love you Granny. ❤
I'm an Indian Christian. Very sad to know that this beautiful hymn is dropped from being played at *Beating the Retreat* ceremony by the Indian Armed forces this year. Yet I'm glad to know that the Lord abides with me. Edit: I’m glad to know that this hymn was not dropped on yesterday’s R-day ceremony. Regardless of it I’m Glad that my Lord abides with me.
