2017 release, the 13th studio album by Sara Groves. Following her critically acclaimed Floodplain, the record includes songs carefully selected from Groves' personal list of hymns, with each song having provided a source of healing and comfort to the singer/songwriter throughout the years. Fittingly recorded in a 105 year old church converted into a studio by Groves alongside her bandmates, Abide With Me is both personal and congregational, with songs like "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus" staying close to the original hymn, while others such as "Oh My Redeemer What a Friend You Are to Me," and "Fairest Lord Jesus" take on their own creative flair.
