Popular funeral hymns

A lot of the UK’s most popular funeral hymns have religious origins. Here’s a deeper look at five of the UK’s favourite funeral hymns:

Abide with Me

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, O abide with me. Abide with Me is a prayer to God, with the speaker asking for comfort and guidance through life, hardships and ultimately, death. The opening line comes from Luke 24:29, "Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent”. The hymn is popular in Christianity and was a favourite hymn of King George V. It is often sung by military services across the Commonwealth. Since 1927, the first and last verses of the hymn have been sung at the FA Cup Final before kick-off. It has also been sung prior to kick-off at every Rugby League Challenge Cup Final since 1929.

The Lord’s my Shepherd

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want; He makes me down to lie In pastures green; he leadeth me The quiet waters by. The Lord's my Shepherd is based on the words of Psalm 23: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters”. It is a popular choice to sing at many religious occasions, not just funerals. It was sung at the Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten in 1947.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound! That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found; Was blind, but now I see. Amazing Grace is a moving hymn with spiritual lyrics, making it a popular choice to sing at funeral services. It was originally written by John Newton in 1773. It is said that he wrote the song after he renounced his role as a slave trader, converted to Christianity, and became an abolitionist. The song is extremely popular in the U.S. and has been covered in popular music by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Elvis.

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, is Ended

The day you gave us, God, is ended; the darkness falls at your request. To you our morning hymns ascended; your praise shall sanctify our rest. The Day Thou Gavest focuses on the worldwide fellowship of the church. It uses the metaphor of day and night, reflecting on the passage of time. It was selected to be sung as part of the celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. It is the official evening hymn of the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy.

Be Thou My Vision

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me, save that thou art Thou my best thought, by day or by night Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light Be Thou My Vision is a traditional Christian hymn of Irish origin. The words are based on a Middle Irish poem often attributed to the sixth-century Irish Christian poet St. Dallán Forgaill.
