About Abide with Me

Words: Henry Francis Lyte (1847)

Tune: William Henry Monk, "Eventide" (1861)

Abide with Me is Henry Francis Lyte's evening hymn, which he wrote in 1847, in failing health, shortly before he left England for the warmer south; he died at Nice that November. Its tune, Eventide, is by William Henry Monk, who printed it in Hymns Ancient and Modern in 1861. It has been sung before the FA Cup Final in England since 1927. Our arrangement is read from that 1861 hymnal, in Monk's own four parts in E-flat, checked against the 1875 edition. This is the first verse for 2 to 4 singers, slow and warm, every line one breath.
