Since my husband was recently diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer, this song has taken on special meaning for us.

@dyad2r1 I have often thought that when my time comes, both of those hymns would be very special. Thank you for sharing during this difficult time.

Wonderful version of a fabulous hymn. Only complaint is that the female soloist can barely be heard.......

[w3tno]

@elavaney The female soloist is actually a boy, and his name is Bruce Blyth. His voice sounds weak because he is singing alone in a very large hall.

[w3tno]

Well, it is indeed sad, but the hymn also contains the hope that God will abide with the person who is going through the dying process.

Mooi lied en heel mooi gezongen

I left a comment on this Hymn 10 months ago, when my dear Nan passed away. Early this morning I lost my Mum and best friend. I am grateful that I was there with her when she passed and want to say, "Mum I love you", and you are now in a better place, out of pain and free, thank you for being my Mum and rest in peace. The words of this Hymn mean so very much. Love you Mum.xxx

I first hear this hymn at the 1987 FA Cup Final at Wembley and was taken by it's powerful words it touched my heart and made me feel proud .It was being sung by most of the 100,000 football supporters which made Wembley feel so alive and so for evermore has become one of my favourite songs.It is the FA Cup song and is alway sung before the game kicks off.

God Bless your grandfather, so beautiful, so tragic, so sad

[GerrySastri]

@chunkie100 God bless your Nan and your Mom.

In the First World War my grandfather's battalion (9th Durham Light Infantry) sang this at evening stand to. They sang it partly to let the Germans know who they were facing across no mans land. They put wooden crosses at the point of their furthest advance in an attack. One can be seen in Durham Cathedral in the DLI Chapel; Complete with bullet and shrapnel scars. They took this very seriously, it was the Regimental hymn. The words couldn’t be more appropriate given their circumstances.
