Abide with Me

 This hymn I remember singing many times growing up at FBC in Monroe. We were a very traditional type of church and so was the music we sang during service.  This is one of those hymns that easily gets stuck in my head. I will find myself singing it for no reason at all.  The hymn was written in 1847 by Henry Francis Lyte as he was dying from tuberculosis.  I did not know that fact until just now when I looked it up and that puts a very different slant on it for me.  Gives it a more powerful impact, I believe.  Here it is beautifully arranged and sung by the BYU Men's Chorus.
