If this hymn ain't played at my funeral don't bother taking me as I will refuse to go!

So proud of you our Hayley, ❤ and🙏 from Christchurch in New Zealand 2023! 🇳🇿 👏🤗🥰

How wonderful that people can sing this beautiful hymn at a sporting event and see so many folks joining along.

Her smile at the end..

What a great place where you can sing praise to God on TV without 200 groups filing lawsuits.

New Zealand is so lucky to have Hayley she is amazing talented and very beautiful.

Haley always has a smile at the end and usually says thank you to the audience. What a class act!

"When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the Helpless oh Abide with me..." such a powerful line...

It's 2020 and this was recommended for me to watch. 👍🏾😎🇿🇦

That's my girl... THAT's how you sing a religious hymn/anthem: the way it was intended by it's author/composer, not with crazy vocal runs which trivializes it and brings it down to the level of an ordinary pop song...

THE BEST VERSION I HAVE EVER HEARD IN 70 YEARS……..FROM A TRUE WELSH FAN OF YOURS HAYLEY. SO INSPIRING.

Such a beautiful singer, Hayley Westenra is, in terms of both physical appearance and singing voice. Damn near impossible to not tear up when listening to her sing.

Her smile at the conclusion of the song is just great!

I am a hospice chaplain and I share this hymn with patients at the end of life more than any other song or writing. Perfect for any and every occasion! Beautiful job Hayley.

I can only imagine what it would be like to live with Haley and listen to her singing around the house. I love this young woman

Hayley's Voice is precious.

Wow how terrific is that , never heard anyone sing it so well

Her voice is incredible ❤️

WOW! Isn't she just absolutely AWESOME! Wouldn't you be so fiercely proud if you had a daughter like Hayley, I know I would, definitely heavenly Hayley! If this doesn't move you to tears then you ain't got any soul. She sings just like an angel and certainly looks like one too, she's just absolutely awesome.

She is gorgeous and has the voice of an angel,beautiful anthem...respect from New Zealand

I hope we will see Hayley sing this for an FA Cup final. There is no greater stage than that for such an amazing performance of this song.

My grandmothers funeral - my first and I still get tears

Her voice like an Angel.

Wow, this is truly amazing to hear an entire stadium singing praise to our Lord. It gave me goosebumps. I only read about this recently. What an awesome tradition and such a beautiful hymn. I would love to hear this in other sports as well here in Canada and the US. "In life or death abide in." If only more people would come to know Jesus great love for them and have their lives changed forever.

she is absolutely incredible.

I am having this hymn at my funeral

Haley Westenra ......the voice of an angel.

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me [Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away Change and decay in all around I see O Thou who changest not, abide with me I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me] Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee In life, in death, o Lord, abide with me Abide with me, abide with me.

A cracking good song that brings tears to my eyes for it's beauty. I heard a Dutch Choir sing this in Arnhem, Holland at the 60th anniversary of Operation Market Garden in 2004 and it was truly, truly beautiful and emotional to hear it and listen and see WW2 Vets in floods of tears.

The best rendition of this great hymn , at a cup final , that I've ever heard , and I've heard quite a few !

Still a truly stunning singer, possibly be the best singer in time in history, all natural and no bullshit required.

Beautiful hymn rendered by someone who did it justice. This is one of the songs that I will have sung Ashton I pass on.

Beautiful, emotion-stirring rendition.

Beautifully sung. Thank you so much. May God Bless You!

She's a lovely singer I would like her to sing this at my funeral .i have been following her for many years

i was at this game supporting the mighty warrington wolves (wire) she is an incredible talent singing a true rugby anthem

brings a lump to my throat every time.

We grew up listening to music. It was Ace, Fantastic, Fab, and Top of the Pops... None of us described it as beautiful.But here it is. `Remember Him that will abide with you.

My younger brother, Daniel, passed away so sudden. To compose myself, Abide With Me, is the first Hymn that I listened to. The Lord abides...

I love the class way she ends her songs. Usually a little smile and thank you

Haley. You are amazing! Such beauty and natural talent. An Angel amongst us.

It's that gorgeous smile right at the end ...makes you melt 😍

I used to sing this song in the Catholic Chuch they used to call me out of class when I was in Santa Maria Convent to sing in the church when someone passed away. I remember it like yesterday.💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I'm proud hearing my fellow Kiwi, Hayley Westenra, delivering such a beautiful song so exquisitely.

What a beautiful Angels singing. God bless and keep you in good health.

What a gem. She truly is superb!

If I’m lucky enough to have a funeral, I would love this to be played

Such a beautiful voice and such a beautiful young woman.

Wonderful hymn !!!

Gorgeous voice.

That may be my favorite hymn. Amazing truth.

The God of the Universe , Abide with Us .I Praise God that an entire stadium sings to Him . All Glory to God Almighty. God bless your Nation.

wow, diese unglaublich schöne stimme, wir hören sie täglich

beautiful enough said

shes beautiful with such an amazing voice i love her

"" WOW"" GOOSEBUMPS ALL THE WAY,so beautiful, love you hayley. xxx.

Now that is quite beautiful

If only all of those singing the song had a personal, living relationship with the very One Who does abide with His own - those who have understood that they need to be saved, and that it is only by the grace of God the Father, through the faith that is also His gift, that salvation is possible.

tears were flowing,what a performance from hayley, BREATHTAKING xxx.

words can not do this any justice

this always gets me in tears. i love this. I'd love this song to be played at my funeral. this makes me go 'I LOVE YOU GOD' In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me❤ peace ❤

So inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

Hayley!!!! My favourite!

luv u hayley NZ represent !

Great singer....not sure if she has come to the US..... Been following her since she was little girl......we do not get good music like Hayley in the US

Awesome ! All Glory to our LORD JESUS CHRIST ! Thank you, Hayley Westenra . Beautiful rendering. God bless ! May His Presence abide with us all.

The voice is great, great and great again.

A truly superb rendition of a beautiful song. An outstanding and very emotional performance by Hayley. Well done!!

spine tingling just about sums it up,along with AWESOME.

Good performance by Hayley. And nobody talked over it. Well done BBC.

Thank you, O, LORD, for this annointed voice. O, Holy Spirit, may there will be more hymn singing of this kind. O, Christ Jesus, let me abide with You.

Angelic voice, angelic appearance, angelic looks and a smile to die for.

Beautiful!

Very moving. Rest in peace my family!

God bless. The singer.paul from india.

A very emotional song.💚💚💚💚💚

I've got a complaint about this young woman.. Every time she sings , I tend to shed tears. It's not a good look for my manly image, and I'm in danger of damaging the key board.

Wonderful and really touching

Praise the almighty LORD GOD CHRIST JESUS for HIS will be done, , , ,Wonderful & awesome singing to praise the LORD GOD CHRIST JESUS !

That, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is how you do it!

Hayley is incredible.

Understated and beautiful

very beateful voice this women and sing clear

From Northern Ireland, we thank you, Halestry Westenra....A beautiful rendition, and the UK thanks you for it! ❤❤❤

PERFECTION

I love this video clip; Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Here are lyrics: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies; Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Wonderfull.

Haunting and beautiful. So sad.

Best version of this hymn I have heard.

Spine tingling indeed Claire. Great occasion.

Thanks for sharing; very beautiful-both the music and Hayley Westernra! Talented singer.

Having been to the challenge cup final on many occasions and there that day as my home town of warrington being there it was a beautyful a moment as it sounds on here. Though I do miss the whole community singing before hand. Having played as a schoolboy in 87, it is a day you must experience and with Abide with me sang so beautyful that great roar at its end that could wake the dead and the teams entering the field, then of course there is 80 mins of rugby to come :)

So beautiful!!!So fantastic!!!

I'm getting goosebumps! Absolutely Beautiful!!!

I agree. And this video is amazing - it is a spine tingling moment the commentator is right.

It's such a great hymn, and a very pleasent performance. I just feel a little bit sad that people just sang along at the 'abide with me' line. Maybe only elder peolple should know the whole lyricis. I feel sad becouse if we were back in time a hundred years ago, maybe all the stadium would sing altogether in one voice! England was once a world-providing country of servants of Christ, I feel sad that today we cannot say the same. But may God bless that we will see new believers in our Lord and God Jesus Christ. May the gospel be preached again in all England

Great video of good quality...thanks for sharing. Love Hayley's overall look here..her hair and dress...and of course, her beautiful rendition of "Abide with me" (one of my favourite hymns)

annointed voice...

that just takes your breath away awesome

Thank you! I was going to ask this question. What a nice tradition to have.
