Played this song for my father before he died of cancer. I believe he was singing along even though he couldn't speak towards the end. I'd like to believe he made his peace with God. I still tear up everytime I hear this song.

[@hoggartl]

Amy Oyekunle bless you both xxx

[@LydziStark]

Amy Oyekunle Bless you ♥

[@waynobo-baeno4977]

i sang this at my grandmothers funeral, this will forever remind me of the angel that now watches over all of us, God Bless.

[@reprazenter1968]

Amy Oyekunle was played at my pops funeral as well such a poignant track

[@mijnoumeow]

Love this hymn💖

[@OfficialBenji]

I was backstage waiting to come out and perform my dance and marshalling for the parade of athletes. This song soothed us all. Weakened all of our fears and gave us so much more passion and motivation then what we already had to go out and do what we needed to do. I've never listened to Emeli before but her rendition was absolutely beautiful. Wish I could re-live that moment on the night everynight.

[@popazz1]

This has GOT to be possibly the finest rendition of a well-known 'hymn' I've listened to in a long while.Such clarity & ennunciation.When she performed it at the London 2012 Opening Ceremony her voice sent shivers down my spine & it certainly was a fitting tribute to the victims of 07-07-2005.But the fact that NBC edited/cut out parts of the event shouldn't be allowed to overshadow what the rest of us got to witness,which was a truly beautiful performance.

[@1234rinor1234]

You know that a song is always that more impressive when it's just a person singing without background music. She truly has talent, well done to her.

[@Metron65]

Simply beautiful! I have heard many versions of this Christian hymn and this version is gorgeous and has reduced me to tears! Jesus is Lord💙

[@cazzabokeem2226]

One of my favourite hymns. Have the ultimate line tattooed across my chest

[@zacbroxson1223]

Nice to hear a newish singer stripped back and showing her natural talent.

[@conan250]

nice to hear a newish singer WITH talent lol

[@rcool1912]

Song by choir at my granny's funeral she was Christian and lived for 89years nearly 30years after doctors told her she had a year to live with cancer.you have great grandson now miss you I know you are in heaven till we meet again xx

[@MrBluedanube]

[@st3wi3D]

[@kimcrossley8361]

So sad, and yet so beautiful and uplifting. Miss you Dad. You would have loved this version.

[@roderick50]

Abide with me was played at my grandads funeral. RIP Grandad Respect to my granda Died of alzheimers. Its such a killer Thumbs up to find a cure.

[@sarakeith2246]

My real mom committed suicide when I was only 11 years old and she was only 50. No family members ever tells me how or why she committed suicide because I was only 11.

[@jamiemetcalf829]

Funeral Jamie

[@jamiemetcalf829]

Killer instinct

[@Toffeeabi81]

I wish I played this at the end of my daughters funeral instead of nimrod.

[@tamascsikos9483]

this is one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. performed by one of the most outstanding artists of course.

[@lisabarnes2288]

I know this is a popular funeral song, but I'm having it as one of my hymns at my wedding in 4 weeks

[@tomgilchrist57]

Hope it went well

[@danielbarnard5616]

How did it go

[@dylanhunt2077]

buried my mum to this ...may she rest in peace. very heartfelt tune

[@matthewfield2958]

A voice so beautiful, it stops you dead in your tracks.

[@johnbland2352]

a wonderful rendition, sang by the voice of an angel, fill up every time I hear it

[@davidteeuw8124]

Emeli Sandé did a good job in the way she sings this song. You really can feel the soul in it! A real life hymn sung with grace, delicacy and reverence. Hope that I may welcome one day a version like this with more verses of this beautiful hymn.

[@MRDOA66]

One of my favourite Christian hymns. Emeli does a wonderful job with the song. I like how she takes her time between the microphone and also how she repeats the line: 'In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me'. It stands out and makes it unique to her style. It's probably one of the best versions I have heard. Great effort considering she was recording the song with one microphone.

[@gr8toluv]

I love the simplicity of her delivery. She lets the words of the song speak.

[@journalistgirl07]

the best summer olympics OC ever !

[@lindajohnstone8623]

My mum died during covid, we had 20 at the funeral, with no singing.......we had this song played at the service. Such clarity and perfection.....

[@DavidLPeel]

Gorgoeus. I'm listening to this with tears rolling down my face. Brings back very strong memories of my Dad.

[@Gemz348]

she sings this so beautifully, it makes me happy the fact we had this as a hymn at my grandads funeral

[@raymondnewby3323]

I'm not a religious man, but this has just brought tears to this grizzled old heart

[@Terimuzik]

[@jjeessssiiccaa11]

[@PEA29]

Wow. I have never taken too much notice when it is sung at the FA Cup Final, and yet at the Olympic Opening Ceremony this took my breath away and captivated me throughout.

[@Glenn1967ful]

It brought tears to me eyes last night

I have included this in a funeral service I am preparing right now for the first week in January 2018. So pure and sensitive, it will be perfect.

[@manmaas]

The performance at the Olympics was simply stunning, the choreography and staging simply divine.

[@M4RKC4RT3R]

Tears every time. Reminds me of my Grandfather who passed in 96.

Simply beautiful 😊

[@peachiestorr3648]

I am glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. Be Blessed...

[@zarabridle3393]

Today my father (my best friend) chose his burial grounds. This is the song that he chose for his funeral and I have been listening to it for months to prepare for the day we sadly have to say goodbye to him as I will be singing it. It's such a beautiful song and I cry every time I listen to it, I hope that he will give me the strength to complete the song. It's very hard to have to prepare to lose your father, and I have no idea what the aftermath of the loss will be. But no matter what I will always think of him when I hear this song. Thank you for this.

[@patbasharah2675]

My God, the beauty of this just gives me chills.

[@foccha]

Just found out today my mum has to go through some scans and testing because they're are some irregularities in her body. I know it's early days but I'm really scared and just want to cry. This song and Emeli's voice are a great comfort

[@Guitarlovingkid25]

Hope the scans went okay x

[@irwinwills5880]

Hope all goes well

[@h4myk11]

[@lachcris]

Beautiful Scottish written hymn sung by a great Scots lassie !.

[@vickyallison9952]

GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!! Beautiful

[@GeordieJoshua]

I don't care about the American cutting this out, they can do what they want if they don't want to listen. I listened to this and I found it beautiful. (Newcastle born, living in Switzerland.) My neighbhors said they found it amazing.

[@luciagagneux]

Goosebumps.

[@davidmusic824]

It was one of the most moving performances I've ever seen, brilliant acting by the man and the young boy, I am almost moved to tears just thinking about it. It was truly cinematic and beautiful. Danny Boyle and Emili Sandé, if not before, are now definitely National treasures.

[@nathancoates8879]

Hauntingly beautiful

[@BROETx]

during the opening, she sang this with so much passion.

[@meganhannahmusic]

Beautiful & moving. I cried a tear listening to her during the opening ceremony. And I've never heard of her or the song before...

[@mgg1991]

For me, the dancers and her voice were the best part of the ceremony. So pure and moving - thanks for this upload!

[@ggabkk]

The Olympics is about human spirit and nothing could have been better to raise spirituality than this performance. Superb.

[@jeremybaggett1966]

There's a quare rake of dust in the air every time I hear this.

[@MARELIZABAL]

i'm american.... and i'm very sorry her performance was removed even more so because of the meaning behind it. i hate i missed out on this beautiful piece by a very talented artist... i did hear her "wonder" in one of the spreads and have since downloaded every piece of music i can get my hands on by Sandé, this included. she won't be a hidden treasure for long, i assure you.

[@GBRSimmo]

Best part of the Olympics opening ceremony, hands down!

[@robangel0816]

This woman is one of the few in music I think is a REAL artist. Her lyrics are Beautiful, her voice is Beautiful, everything. She's so Creative, and most of all, Classy.

[@lenkakrivankova]

could not take my eyes (and ears:) off her at the ceremony.., such an amazing singer!

[@fynyinkus]

[@margaretmcgarry7796]

[@fluffchucker13]

Thank you Fat Ant My Dad's favourite song. I'll be playing it again for him when his ashes are interned at Stockport County FC behind the goal, where he watched his team for over 75 years

[@alimack3718]
