Mormon Tabernacle Choir "Abide with me; 'Tis Eventide"

This is my favorite arrangement of one of my favorite hymns by the best choir in the world. Enjoy!

"Abide with Me; Tis Eventide" Hymn #165

1. Abide with me; tis eventide.
The day is past and gone;
The shadows of the evening fall;
The night is coming on.
Within my heart a welcome guest,
Within my home abide.

[Chorus]
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, tis eventide.

2. Abide with me; tis eventide.
Thy walk today with me
Has made my heart within me burn,
As I communed with thee.
Thy earnest words have filled my soul
And kept me near thy side.

3. Abide with me; tis eventide,
And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee
Nor find in thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide.

I love this song. Whenever I feel anxiety and dismay this is a song I think about to calm my emotions.

[DefendingMormonism]

@andrielisilien Me, too. Thanks.

I invite all fellow Mormons at this time to join me in from here on out ignoring the comment bars on such videos because it seems to me that all it starts is arguments and bickering which single handedly sucks the spirit out of any place regardless of the arguement being made. It is often hard to not get caught up in the opinions of men but in this case I find most people that post hateful messages on videos are brick walls we are punching. Thank you for reading.

[DefendingMormonism]

@casbah66 Better yet -- spend time talking to those sincere seekers of truth who will actually listen to the good news of the restored gospel. The Internet is an amazing instrument to be used for preaching about Jesus Christ and his church -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

[Gazelem55]

How can we obtain knowledge of God? it´s for studying a book, for gaining an academic degree or theological acknowledgement? No, the only way man can know God is by living for every word that procedeth out of his mouth, by keeping his commandment, by making covenant with him, by seeking the truth in the holy scriptures and I have learned that the learned people don´t understand the things of God, we need the holy ghost to understand the spiritual things.

[DefendingMormonism]

@Gazelem55 Amen to that.

@pwthcim The Catholic Church has a history of persecuting others. The Inquisition lasted for over 500 years- torturing and murdering sinners, protestants, jews, "witches" and women. Read your own religion's history, it is shameful. I don't belong to any religion, but this music is incredible, spiritual, inspiring. Whatever religion you are, this is excellent music.

[jazznchickn]

The chord at 3:39 gives me chills every time. I'm a jazzer and I prefer instrumental in most cases, but the sound of a men's choir, perfectly in tune, singing the inspired music of the Church... I just can't get enough.

[Sasukeuchiha5012]

who honestly would argue with those who do not believe? for those of us who don't understand but are members of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. it is better to not argue with the nonmembers, because at one point or another, they will hear the truth and be converted, whether in this life or the next, instead of focusing on the comments others have posted, enjoy the sweet sounding music of the tabernacle choir. Thank you.

[pwthcim]

Don't LDS members believe that after one dies he/she heads a planet and becomes a god? Doesn't the LDS church baptize the dead? Doesn't the LDS church hold that an ancient civilization existed in the U.S. and that Christ visited it? Where is this in the Scriptures?

[Beaumonthy]

@pwthcim I always thought the greatest commandment was to love your God, and second to that Love thy neighbour as thyself? You could be a devout Atheist, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist or even a punk for all I care. I'd still treat you with the same respect I'd treat anyone of my own faith. There is enough mistrust and intolerance in the world without creating more between fellow Christians.

[casbah66]

@pwthcim Well I would ask the same thing of you my friend. It appears neither of us have a side on this, though for what it's worth I don't recall us ever attacking your church. Disagree with your beliefs? Yes, but no never have I heard an authority of our church attack another religion unless it is Satanic beliefs. Which no, Catholicism is not, there are many similarities between our beliefs.

[Edmonster3000]

I am a Latter-Day Saint. I know the truth. Just because I know it, though, doesn't mean that others are going to accept it one way or another. I do know for a fact, however, that you attract more bees with honey than with vinegar. If another person isn't going to change their religion for our truth, we have still planted the seed of truth. Calling names and insulting intelligence for any reason is firstly, ungodly, and secondly, not letting us plant the right seed. Lets not hate on everybody.

[pwthcim]

@casbah66 But your organization attacks my faith. Catholicism, so what should I do? Sit back and not defend the faith?

[silverfoxidm]

I love this hymn. I requested it sung at my mssry farewell as the closing hymn. That was back before the consolidated meeting schedule was in effect each Holy Sabbath Day! Russ 8.13.78
