The composer, Henry Francis Lyte, lay dying of tuberculosis while he wrote this and died three weeks after finishing it - this kind of shows the deeper meaning I guess.
@yemikenny7 Henry Francis Lyte wrote the hymn in 1847 three weeks before his death from tuberculosis. The hymn tune was composed by William Henry Monk in 1861.

they sing very good but for me, my mum is the absolute number one singer for this song (she sang it sometimes when I was little at bedtime).

God leads his children along.
Some through the waters, some through the flood.,
Some through the fire but all through the flood,
Some through great sorrows, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.

such a powerful hymn..theres another verse of this hymn that i love to death..it goes something like this:
come not in Terror
As the king of kings
but good and kind
with healing in thy wings
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea...
come friend of sinner and abide with me...

I like it but prefer
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
for some reason 3 verses are usually left out
