Talk:Abide with Me

message: It is said that this song has been played by the band on the titanic while the ship sunk. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.225.0.158 (talk • contribs) .
*That's what I've heard. However, according to the RMS Titanic article, the last song played by the ship's band is actually uncertain. While Abide With Me is not mentioned in the article, it does mention that the last song may have been Nearer, my God, to Thee. Andrew (My talk) 17:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: A lot of websites say this hymn was sung at the wedding of George VI and that of his daughter Elizabeth. It just isn't true. There are on the net details of the services and some videos. It was Praise my soul, written by the same author as Abide with me that was common to these weddings. 92.11.216.245 (talk) 23:56, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Whilst three different settings of Nearer My God to Thee and the popular dance number Autumn Dream are popular favourites for the last tune played on the RMS Titanic, I think Abide with Me (presumably sung to Eventide) is not a significant contender and the reference should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.96.217.46 (talk) 03:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The trivia template at the top of the "Popular use" section has been in place for about eighteen months.  This section is overloaded with non-encyclopaedic trivia ("it was once used in an episode of a soap opera", etc.) and overwhelms the article.  I propose massively reducing it, although preserving a few items which are both encyclopaedic are properly sourced.  Unless there is any discussion here to the contrary, I propose doing this about a week from now.  Feline Hymnic (talk) 10:50, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: It's really moot. We should use his full name Henry Francis Lyte in the lede and first occurrence in the body; but thereafter, per WP:SURNAME, neither "Henry" nor "Francis" should be used. TJRC (talk) 23:06, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
