"Abide with Me" was an ancient Earth hymn sung by the drivers of New New York as they departed the Motorway after they were freed by the Tenth Doctor. (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.
