Think your false there. Whats the point of posting nonsense when in the digital age we all have access to the facts.
"Abide with Me" is a Christian hymn by Scottish Anglican Henry Francis Lyte, most often sung to William Henry Monk's tune "Eventide." - Wikipedia. William Monk was English. So as I said, its an English tune (the performance of it on this video is not sung so there is nothing in it by Lyte at all).

@fairplaynationalist2 Henry Francis Lyte, who wrote this tue, was Scottish, born in Ednam, Scotland.

Magnificent! The tune, the accompanying video - Spot on ! Thankyou

@myfilms2010 Nope, not according to history. Really not in getting into a debate on it, but the fact is that the Scottish Regiments stood in the wake of Operation Michael, other regiments did not (I'll not name them). Why they faltered may be due to inadequate training, poor morale, crap leadership, who knows (who is interested for a start?). It isn't racist to recognise good discipline, staunch defence and effective leadership (and ignore t'other is it)? 2c

@Bluesteel750 Hey, we're all people: I'm an Aussie. For fuck's sake! Nice song; brings us together;enough said.
Scots have such an appreciation and pride in their culture and in their heritage...and justifiably so. We Americans sometimes don't show that ame appreciation not only for who we are, but where we have come from...we have much to be proud of...and much to tip a hat in honor of some very influential Scotsman in our history, and Scotland itself. Would we have the Declaration of Independence had it not been for the Scots and the Declaration of Arbroath?

Though not much of a believer, if at all, I will be singing this hymn to myself on my deathbed.
