Hayley Westenra - Abide With Me Lyrics

Love this

Why are we Patriotic,to a government that is not patriotic to its people.?

I love that hymn, and I think that girl sang it well.

Don't ever sing for these English bastards

🇬🇧🔚🦄🥝

I stand in silence listening to this

GREAT & LOVELY !!!!!!!!!!!

Her smile at the end..

Thanks for sharing; very beautiful-both the music and Hayley Westernra! Talented singer.

My younger brother, Daniel, passed away so sudden. To compose myself, Abide With Me, is the first Hymn that I listened to.
The Lord abides...

Really sorry for your loss. It is especially hard when it's sudden like that

What a beautiful Angels singing. God bless and keep you in good health.

Abide With Me.

Wonderful and really touching

How wonderful that people can sing this beautiful hymn at a sporting event and see so many folks joining along.

Thank you, O, LORD, for this annointed voice.
O, Holy Spirit, may there will be more hymn singing of this kind.
O, Christ Jesus, let me abide with You.

Best version of this hymn I have heard.

The best rendition of this great hymn , at a cup final , that I've ever heard , and I've heard quite a few !

I think the hymne itself is great and that she has a nice voice, but the vibrato kind of destroys the beauty of that masterpiece

Great Britains own Lovely Kiwi! (OK NZ, only borrowed!)

This is my favourite hymn and I love Hayley a lot! However, it sounds fit in a funeral or in a time of sadness, and what’s it to do with a match?

It's such a great hymn, and a very pleasent performance. I just feel a little bit sad that people just sang along at the 'abide with me' line. Maybe only elder peolple should know the whole lyricis. I feel sad becouse if we were back in time a hundred years ago, maybe all the stadium would sing altogether in one voice! England was once a world-providing country of servants of Christ, I feel sad that today we cannot say the same. But may God bless that we will see new believers in our Lord and God Jesus Christ. May the gospel be preached again in all England

Excellent singing.

A fabulous talent , long may it continue.

Yes - agreed with most others here - and there is really nothing like this hymn. It has, at a more mature level, a beckoning quality - a healing type of posture to it.

отлично!

Such a beautiful singer, Hayley Westenra is, in terms of both physical appearance and singing voice. Damn near impossible to not tear up when listening to her sing.

she gives me a hard on every time.. brings tears to my balls!

May Trump allow this is the USA

I love the class way she ends her songs. Usually a little smile and thank you

If you thought THAT was a fine rendition, listen to THIS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VahCOHEEyY

A truly superb rendition of a beautiful song.  An outstanding and very emotional performance by Hayley. Well done!!

the song is a PIECE OF WESTERN GENOCIDAL SHIT !

Still a truly stunning singer, possibly be the best singer in time in history, all natural and no bullshit required.

Hello, I am a refugee from Somalia and I would like to come to the Tedford, UK, to live off your benefits. I hear that the Nordic Lands give good money to those who are unemployed. I have a big family of 11(with my 2 wives) & I would like to bring with me my cousin Ibrahim and my Uncle Omar (and their families). In honor of the UK, (my future homeland) I am going to name my next son Mustafa. One thing thou, make your females wear a hijab and a niqab to respect ALLAH.

I can only imagine what it would be like to live with Haley and listen to her singing around the house. I love this young woman

Scottish minister wrote that bravo

Such a beautiful voice and such a beautiful young woman.

A very emotional song.💚💚💚💚💚

I used to sing this song in the Catholic Chuch they used to call me out of class when I was in Santa Maria Convent to sing in the church when someone passed away. I remember it like yesterday.💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Hayley -

I love so much Hakey Wentenra shi brougth my life again

Schitterend mooi gezongen

Her voice is incredible ❤️

Praise the almighty LORD GOD CHRIST JESUS for HIS will be done, , , ,Wonderful & awesome singing to praise the LORD GOD CHRIST JESUS !

We grew up listening to music. It was Ace, Fantastic, Fab, and Top of the Pops...
None of us described it as beautiful.But here it is. `Remember Him that will abide with you.

Who Is she?so gorgeous

She got both beautiful voice and face.

....oh that voice...

Outstanding

hymns and sports.
wow.........😇

Blessed.

A good song at my funeral .

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a wonder!!!

I've been very scathing in the past, likening Miss Westernra to a 'bathroom soprano', however my mind is now changed somewhat.
tac

Wish the hooligans in the background would just LISTEN!

Haley always has a smile at the end and usually says thank you to the audience. What a class act!

what's so great about this old hymn at the Rugby playoff is that the Brits are one of the least religious country's on the planet. They love old drinking songs, patriotic hymns -- and even old church hymns -- because it's all good fun and crowd roar. Americans haven't evolved enough to pull this off.

Having been to the challenge cup final on many occasions and there that day as my home town of warrington being there it was a beautyful a moment as it sounds on here. Though I do miss the whole community singing before hand. Having played as a schoolboy in 87, it is a day you must experience and with Abide with me sang so beautyful that great roar at its end that could wake the dead and the teams entering the field, then of course there is 80 mins of rugby to come :)

annointed voice...

this always gets me in tears. i love this. I'd love this song to be played at my funeral. this makes me go 'I LOVE YOU GOD' In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me❤ peace ❤

What function is this

She's a lovely singer I would like her to sing this at my funeral .i have been following her for many years

Lovely song, lovely Girl.

They need to bring Hayley to sing Abide With Me, as well as the national anthem, prior to the Super Bowl. As it stands, we have pathetic singers who louse up the latter every year. As for the former, this godless country needs a re-intro to Christ in the worst way, and what better way to do so than have Hayley sing this fine hymn...

I was at this game supporting the Giants :)

YEAH!!!

She is gorgeous and has the voice of an angel,beautiful anthem...respect from New Zealand

If you want the best, you get the best, and the Cup did. So why do they not invite Hayley back every year? For that matter, someone ring the FA and have them ask her to sing their final as well. Let her have it. Nobody can touch her. She's Manchester United to Yeovil Town...

Her smile at the conclusion of the song is just great!

It´s amazing. This is a traditional religious hymn, wich is often sung at burials, as the lyrics deal with the proximity of death.  However, it is sung here before a sporting event, and is sung with full  respect by all attendees. Moving, really. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

why on earth do they play such a beautiful Hymn for a rugby match this is not what the Hymn is for,,,such a beautiful voice

Great singer....not sure if she has come to the US..... Been following her since she was little girl......we do not get good music like Hayley in the US

Beautiful, emotion-stirring rendition.

That, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is how you do it!

This beautiful Hymn, like most hymns have all but been done away with in church services. Sad.

I'm simply amazed they're actually singing a gospel song at a event like this in Europe. I guess there's still some hope. Being from the USA it just always seemed much Europe is so anti Christian.

I gotta say, I find it depressing the way many American Christians write Europe off. Our church may be small, but it's by no means dead, or dying. Because of our history it now has less 'social adherents' and thus, genuine authentic and discerning spirituality. We could argue about the different denominations etc, and I don't want to go down that rabbit hole, but less say 'born again' from Anglican, mainline protestant, to emerging church etc.

British and Christian

shivers

A favorite hymn by my favorite songstress. What could be better?

YOU CAN SING HYMNS TO GOD AT SPORTS GAMES IN ENGLAND? WOW.... GREAT COUNTRY.

Yeah.....

@Šta reći? Koju posluku porat? Aw baby. You ok hun?

@Greg Brunnhuber Only in the US mate.

You can sing it in sports stadiums in America as well, people just don't. Unless, of course, sporting events became state sponsored events without me knowing.

Sadly singing to a bunch of braindead bozos. Lovely singing though Hayley.

wow, diese unglaublich schöne stimme, wir hören sie täglich

Fantastic

Haley. You are amazing!

Such beauty and natural talent.

An Angel amongst us.

Jo

Come thou fount of every blessing

Beautiful hymn rendered by someone who did it justice. This is one of the songs that I will have sung Ashton I pass on.

beautiful enough said

es un angel, señal de que Dios nos ama y nos envia este, en un rostro bellisimo, una voz celestial y un hermoso cuerpo, gracias Hayley, eres un poema de amor, es imposible no amarte

超級好好聽 ^_^

One day, Hayley will actually annunciate a consonant

Gorgeous voice.

chills !

sung well by Hayley Westenra, I believe she is a Christian(?). As usual, most in the crowd not interested tho :-(

Because most of the crowd are uncultured notherners.

Mark Jones This is a Mormon song

a Christian Hymm written in 1847 by Anglican Henry Francis Lyle. You can't imply that it's a "mormon" song.

@TheSmithersy
yes that could be it

@Michael M
yes agreed

What a gem. She truly is superb!

luv u hayley NZ represent !

Haunting and beautiful. So sad.

My grandmothers funeral - my first and I still get tears

you poor thing

Hayley's Voice is precious.

The incredible power of religion !

@louismarie92 Correction, the power of God!

excuse me

Joshi you are excused

Hah! When was the last time 85% of that crowd were in a church? It is a beautiful tune, but the words do not resonate anymore with the vast majority of British people - in particular the English.

@DieFlabbergast You are wrongfully assuming Christianity has something to do with going to a church...

Oh, this is just so lovely to hear in this, the dark night of secularism! And yes, as owwald wellman also posted about this song, I too want to burst in tears at the sound.
