First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.“Abide With Me” is arranged here as an easy piano solo with the hymn melody placed clearly in the right hand and simple left-hand support underneath. The score uses large notation, lyrics under the melody, and finger numbers throughout, making the arrangement very readable while still keeping the serious and peaceful character of the hymn.Measures 1–8 present the first half of the hymn verse. The right hand carries the melody in simple note values, while the left hand supports with mostly single notes and long held tones. The texture stays very open, so the melody and words remain the main focus.Measures 9–16 complete the verse with the same simple two-hand layout. The right hand continues the hymn tune with short slurred figures and stepwise motion, while the left hand gives steady harmonic support underneath. The final measures close quietly and directly, matching the easy piano style of the arrangement.Interesting fact: “Abide With Me” was performed by Emeli Sandé during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics as a tribute to the victims of the 7/7 London attacks.
