Abide with Me - [ Wellspring Virtual Choir ]

The Wellspring choir's rendition of the hymn "Abide with me" composed by Henry Francis Lyte and sung to English composer William Henry Monk’s tune Eventide. ______________________ Why is this song special in the context of India's 'Republic Day' celebrations? The Beating retreat in India conducted on the evening of 29 January, officially denotes the end of Republic Day festivities. It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military - a centuries old military tradition dating from the days when troops disengaged from battle at sunset. Every year since 1950 till 2021 the song Abide With Me, would form the sombre highpoint of the conclusion of the celebrations. It was always the last piece to be played by the brass bands before the troops receded up Raisina Hill to the tune of poet Allama Iqbal’s Saare jahan se achha. Played at dusk, this was also the last piece before the retreat buglers brought down the Indian flag against the backdrop of the setting sun and a simultaneous lighting up of the Rashtrapati Bhawan, South Block, North Block and Parliament House. Let this prayer continue to resonate in the soul of our nation as we ask for God's abiding presence through many challenges and ask for his strength to stay true to our ideals ______________________ THE TEAM: SOLOIST: Ashita Singh CHOIR VOCALISTS : Ashita Singh, Daniella Varghese, Tiara Arpit, Kezia Arpit, Nandita V., Elijah Kotian, Arpit Waghmare, John Israel, Denvin Lawrence, Joshua Victor MIXING AND MASTERING: John Israel VIDEO CONCEPT: Arpit Waghmare, Blesson Pandi VIDEO EDITING: Blesson Pandi Hindi Translation from the song book: "Aaradhana ke geet" published by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Madhya Pradesh. ______________________ Special thanks to our church community - WELLSPRING FELLOWSHIP, Bangalore Wellspring Fellowship is a community of Jesus seekers and followers in the north side of Bangalore.

Learn the song from this full version video: https://youtu.be/yeHVkXaAIAE An offering from Wellspring Inspiration to churches and singers to use this backing track and sing the song, joining the stars as they worship Jesus this season. LYRICS (Song begins) STAR (SOLO) Have you ever wondered how the stars first came to be? God gave the word, and we were set on fire. We sang the backing vocals when Adam first met Eve. We don’t just shine: we’re all in heaven’s choir! STARS (ALL) Open your eyes; look at the skies: See, a thousand points of light! Open your ears; what can you hear? A thousand voices singing through the night. STAR (SOLO) After years of trouble, it was time for a new dawn. The stars were hushed and all eyes turned to Earth. Heaven’s King, who birthed the universe, consented to be born. But how should we announce His royal birth? STARS (ALL) Open your eyes; look at the skies: See, a thousand points of light! Open your ears; what can you hear? A thousand voices singing through the night. STAR (SOLO) I got to sing a solo. I was shining extra bright. Those who gaze upon the stars were going wild. They followed, as I danced my way to Bethlehem that night. Best of all, they got to gaze upon the child. STARS (ALL) Stars are so bright; But if you follow us Our message to you is, “Follow Him.” He invented light! He’ll help you shine like us. He’s the real star of Bethlehem. Open your eyes; look at the skies: See, a thousand points of light! Open your ears, what can you hear A thousand voices singing through the night. Open your eyes; look at the skies: See, a thousand points of light! Open your mouth, see what comes out Wont you join us singing through the night? Open your eyes; look at the skies: See, a thousand points of light! Open your ears, what can you hear A thousand voices singing through the night. Open your eyes; look at the skies: See, a thousand points of light! Open your mouth, see what comes out Wont you join us, wont you join us? A thousand voices singing through the night!
