Aye I think it'll get me too, it'll be a special moment and really will bring home to me that we've finally made it back to a major final

Can't wait

I've been hearing it at about 43 cup finals and umpteen funerals and I still cant remember the words after the 4th line!!

Words should be in the programme, they were in 81 ;-)

I'm sure they will be. But unlike in '81 I cant be there. Mind you in '81 my tickets were in the main Spurs end, coming from Lancashire FA believe it or not, so I was too busy staying alive in full City kit!

This might help then:

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.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me

Bangin'. Hoping for a good beat and plenty of bass like.

Hi GUYS, Its my 60th birthday tomorrow, I live in Spain now and can't get over for the match. What I would say to you all is to enjoy every minute of the day. I was there in 69 and cried at Abide with Me and again when "Nelly" God bless him scored the winner. I will be there with you all in spirit tomorrow and hope to be shedding tears of joy again. That lot will never understand how we feel about our team. Have a wonderful day!

It's posts like that one that make me feel so lucky to have a ticket. There's gonna be so much emotion pouring out at full time if we win I may need a boat back up to West Yorkshire!

great lyrics, they really knew how to write them - mind you it's not a patch on the Black Eyed Peas song about tits.

[Chinners]

This is one of the things that makes you realise we are actually there, top notch tradition for me ... <goosebumps alert>

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to sing Abide With Me at an FA Cup Final (I didn't go in 1981).

I am not ashamed to say that I will more than likely be crying like a big girl during the singing of it tomorrow.

[Chinners]

Nothing to be ashamed of fella ... go for it, you might not get the chance again (hopefully not obviously)

[Beefymcfc]

Girl's!

[Chinners]

Girl's!

Girls or not, I've just noticed your post count status ... I hope thats an omen!
