Based on the passage from Luke 24:29, Henry Lyte wrote one of the most beloved hymns of all time. A hymn of prayer for the nearness of his Savior in his final days, Lyte penned a beautiful picture of our need for Christ in everyday of our lives. Join us as we explore the story of "Abide with Me" by Henry Francis Lyte.Featuring three different versions of this timeless hymn:"Abide with Me" performed by Matthew Perryman Jones (Indelible Grace Music)"Abide with Me" performed by Emeli Sande (2012 London Opening Ceremony)"Abide with Me" performed by Nathan Drake (Reawaken Hymns)____________________________________________________________________Support the showwww.thebrightforever.com

If you have seen the movie, A Bridge Too Far, you may recall that almost at the end of the movie, this hymn, Abide with Me by Henry Francis Lyte, was being sung. The British battalion under Lt. Col. Frost had been defeated by German forces and were regrouping themselves and tending the wounded while waiting to be moved elsewhere. Softly, the hymn was started and many of the soldiers joined in, giving themselves comfort in the dire circumstances. The setting is in stark contrast to the idyllic seaside setting in which Lyte had completed the hymn. However, Lyte had his own battle, that of tuberculosis. Despite his trial, he was able to write of eternal hope such as the verse that concludes, "Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if Thou abide with me." Other verses are as powerful. Have you participated in the hope of which Lyte speaks? Have you asked Jesus to be your Savior? Have you asked Him to abide with you? Do so today and have the hope, peace, and comfort that comes from relationship with the Savior. Article taken from Living Stories of Famous Hymns by Ernest K. Emurian.

IN THIS EPISODE: "Abide With Me" by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847)Show Notes:  "Piecing Back Together" by Lake Isabel "Abide With Me" performed by Sophia Isabel Bush Facebook: www.facebook.com/storiesofhymnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hymn.stories/Hymn Stories is a part of the Media Gratiae Podcast Network.

Frederick Atkinson (1841-1897) wrote the Victorian tune Morecambe, named after a town in England's Midland district. The composer's intent was to provide a musical setting for Henry Francis Lyte's famous hymn, “Abide with me, fast falls the eventide” (The UM Hymnal, No. 700). Indeed the rhythm is identical between Eventide, the tune associated with “Abide with me,” and Morecambe. Morecambe is well suited for “Spirit of God” as well. In the first stanza, a descending melody accompanies the words, “descend upon my heart.” Tedd Smith, who arranged this, was the pianist for Billy Graham for years and years. It's my favorite arrangement and I'm so grateful for him.

Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast and the Hank Unplugged podcast, shares part of a missive from his sister Jobje, expressing love and gratitude for prayers as she battles cancer. She writes that her mind is riveted upon the truths and promises of God—particularly riveted on the lyrics of a hymn by Rev. Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847), titled “Abide with Me,” a hymn he wrote as he himself was dying of Tuberculosis.

IN THIS EPISODE: "Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken" by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) How did the young woman act during the storm? With simple modesty; she was patient but firm. She bore the storm that was without by the blessed peace that was within. She was still loving and more obedient than ever, except on this one point. She would not forsake Christ. Having tasted the better portion, she would not give it up. She went after Christ, denied herself, and took up her cross to follow Him; then came the trouble.

The final movement, marked zurückhaltend (“very slowly and held back”; literally, “reservedly”), opens with only strings. Commentators have noted the similarity of the opening theme in particular to the hymn tune Eventide (Abide With Me is a well-known Christian hymn composed by Henry Francis Lyte in 1847).But most importantly it incorporates a direct quote from the Rondo-Burleske's middle section. Here it becomes an elegy. After several impassioned climaxes the movement becomes increasingly fragmented and the coda ends quietly.---A listening guide of Symphony No. 9 - 4th Movement with Lew Smoley

In her latest “Hymn Sing” episode, resident #hymnnerd Sarah treats Erin, Bri, and Rachel to the history and personalities behind several favorite evening-time hymns and lullabies, focusing especially on listener favorites “Abide with Me,” “Now the Light Has Gone Away,” and “Now Rest beneath Night's Shadow.” Did you know that Henry Francis Lyte wrote “Abide with Me” as a kind of self-obituary? Or that Francis Havergal's English version of Luise Hensel's “Mude Bin Ich” is more of a paraphrase than a translation? Or that Johann Gerhardt caught Enlightenment-era flack for some of the logical (yet theologically appropriate) inconsistencies in his most famous nighttime hymn? Grab your pillow and snuggle into your jammies. As it turns out, there's no better way to end the day than with a hymn.

Rev Willie Wright tells the story of the life of Henry Francis Lyte, in his series on Hymn Writers

Henry Francis Lyte entered Trinity College at the age of 15 with plans of going into the medical field. But the Lord had a different plan and upon graduation, he pursued Christian ministry. In this episode of the Lunch Break Hymn Sing, we will sing ‘Abide With Me', one of his most well-known hymns! Enjoy your lunch break!

On this day, we remember St. Columba, missionary to Scotland, and St. Ephrem of Syria, Doctor of the Church. Our reading is the hymn "Abide with Me" by Henry Francis Lyte. We’re proud to be part of 1517 Podcasts, a network of shows dedicated to delivering Christ-centered content. Our podcasts cover a multitude of content, from Christian doctrine, apologetics, cultural engagement, and powerful preaching. Support the work of 1517 today.

Jesus, speaking to his disciples in the Gospel of John before he is arrested and before his journey to cross and resurrection begins, says, “Abide in me, and I in you.” He tells the disciples to “abide in my love.” In 1847, Henry Francis Lyte wrote a poem as a prayer for God to remain present. This poem became the hymn “Abide With Me.” When we think of the word abide as a people of faith, we think of a deep, personal connection to God through Christ. For 4 Sundays, we have been reflecting on the word abide and the way God abides with us, and we abide with God and one another. Today's text is John 17:6-9. Thank you for joining me through this series to abide in love and worship together!

Meet the Composer continues its investigation of the odd, wrong-side-of-the-tv-set role of The Performer with a deep dive into the Sonic Meditations of pioneering American composer Pauline Oliveros. Oliveros manages to smudge at the distinction between composer, performer and audience with these simple, text-based pieces, which somehow pack an emotional wallop far larger than their few lines might suggest.

Series exploring famous pieces of music and their emotional appeal. Based on Psalm 103, this hymn was written by Henry Francis Lyte, who also penned Abide With Me, and is most asssociated with the tune by John Goss - even though the two men never met. Their hymn has become one of the most popular for weddings, and was used at those of the Queen and Prince Philip and Charles and Camilla. Increasingly it is also used at funerals, and the widow of DC Stephen Oake, killed while on duty during an anti-terrorist raid, explains why it's so important to her and her family. It's also the perfect tune for teaching young choristers to sight read music, although these days they often misplace the comma in the line, 'Father like, he tends and spares us'.
