Why Do They Sing Abide With Me at FA Cup Finals?

[@donjuwann5868]

how beautiful to hear the large crowd sing this hymn brought tears to this old mans eyes when I think of how messed up the world is today,we need more of this

[@BrightMorningStar]

I agree.

Thanks, Delana. God bless you and Fiji.

[@ianmarsden1130]

I'm not a religious man. But this is a most moving hymn. We should all sing this whatever our faith or lack thereof in respect to those who have earthly hope stripped away from them.

[@mnd1955]

My dad went to the 1958 Cup Final. He said that when Abide With Me was sung, there wasn't a dry eye in Wembley. My first final was in 1976 and it was great to hear that grand old hymn and to sing it. In 1977 both sets of fans, United and Liverpool, gave a great rendition. It really is an emotional moment.

[@BrightMorningStar]

Absolutely right.

[@sigmas_handle]

The Indian Armed Forces combined military bands play it every year in the annual Republic Day celebrations Beating Retreat ceremony. Love it💓 The best by a military band💕👐

[@BrightMorningStar]

Great to know.

[@yeett173]

Not anymore. They removed it this year.

[@sigmas_handle]

@@yeett173 the Modi govt people had been on it for a long time..😤 The Beating Retreat loses its charm then. Apart from the popular songs played in the ceremony, most of the other songs from Indian composers are drab. The way The Indian military bands played the hymn was the most befitting for the occasion as well as for the tradition. Sigh..

[@yeett173]

@@sigmas_handle They don't do anything that's actually productive, their nationalism is simply erasing anything they perceive as un Indian which don't help the country in anyway.

Very sad that the government of India removed this song from beating retreat ceremony of the Indian Army.

[@geraldpolmateer3255]

Years ago I worked on a home in which an elderly gentleman died. The son had been living a life of sin and had no sense of eternal perspective. Many of the rooms were black and felt sooty. It was difficult to see even when I had a bright light turned on. As time went by I had many discussions with the son and eventually I saw a man go from living a life of son to living a very different life.

[@BrightMorningStar]

God bless you, Gerald

[@SamuelLee-gw6wr]

I also started this tradition when I play football-related game apps. I sang this when my SM21 Leeds made the FA cup final before the game started, and I eventually beat Man City 1-0.

That is a fine arrangement, beautifully performed. One point, though. When the reverend travelled to Nice it was at that time in Italy, so in those days it was salubrious Italian air.

[@sterling629]

There is a difference of opinion as to the last hymn when the Titanic sank, Abide With Me or Nearer My God To Thee, both beautiful hymns.

[@dahlialady4131]

I think it was ..".Nearer my God to thee" was played as the Titanic sank😒

日本語ですみません。 ご返信ありがとうございます！ 日本語で意味のわかりやすい物を今度買って読んでみます。 私は昔、西洋史を少しだけ勉強していました。キリスト教は必須でした。 なので聖書の内容は一般の日本人より知っている言葉は多いつもりですが、全体像の把握と、その深い意味については、まだ考察しきれていません。 サッカー好きのごくごく普通の日本人より。

Hi, thank you for your great work and hard research go maintain awareness of a hymn that really only belongs to certain believers .. there are others , I also raise awareness of this, without causing possible arguing and causing a negative reaction, I would like to offer my work, my partner and I have covered around 25 thousand hrs of documentaries reading etc, I run 7 groups on FB raising awareness on different topics.. the work I am releasing is totally unique, I was led to a hidden spiritual language in the words, phrases, titles, etc.. I am a fair way into uncovering whole new way of how our language can solve our riddles. Your words made me tingle, I have a valuable key at the end of my life to release others .. your video delivery is 2nd to none .. you have the most peaceful vibration. I have that too, however, I'm on the Spiritual frontline right now taking down the world serpent with thousands and thousands of others .. I rest when war is over and peace returns.. much warmth your way. 🤗🤗
