"Abide with Me" was an Earth hymn traditionally sung at funerals in the 20th century.
Bernice Summerfield played a dance remix of the hymn at Jason Kane's funeral. (AUDIO: The Wake)
The drivers of New New York sang the hymn as they departed the Motorway after they were freed by the Tenth Doctor. It was also the usual subject of the Daily Contemplation. (TV: Gridlock)
A line from the hymn was quoted by Hindle to describe the planet Deva Loka. (TV: Kinda)
Behind the scenes
The performance of the song from Gridlock was included on the soundtrack CD for Series 3 and is, to date, the only non-original song ever included on a Doctor Who soundtrack from either the classic or revival series. The Gridlock version was arranged by Murray Gold.
