THE HUNT FOR ABIDE WITH ME is over and here's the 2 best versions I could find.
1. James last. Best visuals. No vocals but he brings out the best in a best tune
2. This courtesy of Mizpeh is probably the best choral version. I looked and looked and clicked around but nothing truly outstanding ever came out from anywhere. Which is sad as I think this is a pretty outstanding tune...
Sorry; this doesn't start till about half a minute in:
PS this is the BEST THING about being OLD. Means I can post "best hymns" stuff on my blog without giving a flying **** what anyone else might think about it...
That hymn reminds me of funerals...
ReplyDeleteAs for giving a flying****... the correct term is "an airborne act of intercourse", Gleds. Heehee...
Oh fluff a duck Gleds you're not old!! ... I like the first one without the words ... a little faster temp who be good though*!*
ReplyDelete... when I was about 7 I went to Wembley stadium to watch a rugby union final - can still remember the hairs on the back of my head sticking up when the crowd sang that song :)
PussInBoots: how odd, I was just thinking I'd like that at my funeral, along with All Things Bright and Beautiful and Psalm 23 (read) (as if I'd be there to hear them ;->...)
ReplyDeleteHey you changed your portrait. Nice
I never heard that way of putting it...
Bimbimbie: you're only as old as you feel. Which makes me over 100!
Community Singing - those were the days, like the Wembley FA Cup final in the 50s and 60s. Not the same today, with celebs taking the mike...
