Replacing string in multiple files

Hi,

I need to replace the string 'abcd' with 'xyz' in a file sample.xml
This sample.xml is also present in the subdirectories of the current directory.

Eg,

If I am in /user/home/

the sample.xml if present in
/user/home/
/user/home/folder1/
/user/home/folder2/
/user/home/folder2/subfolder1/

I tried using
sed "s/abcd/xyz/g" sample.xml > temp; mv temp sample.xml;

But this replaces only the sample.xml in /user/home/ directory.

Please help on this
