Thankyou for the clip........I have always been moved by choral singing........and abide with me is a favourite of mine.

I stood in Canterbury Cathedral a couple of years ago and listened to the choir singing this and the big bulbous tears crept down my cheeks.......so you aren't on your own.
You need to join my old mushters club....there are a few of us in it.
You seem to be in good company in the tear department. Churchill told his private secretary: "I blub an awful lot, you know. You'll have to get used to it". And Sir John Colville said of him: "[He] wasn't scared to be emotional."
