i God be with you till nosotros meet once again;

God be with you lot till we run into over again.

Till we meet, till we run across,
till we run across at Jesus' anxiety.
Till nosotros encounter, till we see,
God exist with you till we meet once again.

2 God be with you lot till we meet once again;
unseen wings, protecting, hide you,
daily manna still provide you;
God be with you till we meet again. [Refrain]

3 God exist with you till we meet again;
when life's perils thick confound you,
put unfailing artillery around you;
God be with you till nosotros meet again. [Refrain]

four God be with y'all till we meet again;
keep love's banner floating o'er you,
smite death'south threat'ning wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again. [Refrain]

Jeremiah Due east. Rankin (b. Thornton, NH, 1828; d. Cleveland, OH, 1904) says of his hymn text,

Information technology was written equally a Christian adept-bye; it was called forth by no person or occasion, but was deliberately composed as a Christian hymn on the footing of the etymology of "practiced-bye," which ways "God be with you." The first stanza was sent to two different composers, 1 of musical note, the other [William G. Tomer] wholly unknown and not thoroughly educated in music. I selected the composition of the latter, and with some slight changes it was published.

The offset stanza was published in 1880 with the melody GOD BE WITH Y'all by William G. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included eight stanzas. A popular hymn, "God Be with Yous" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight Fifty. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals usually print merely four stanzas.

The text is substantially a parting blessing, a prayer that God will guide you (st. 1), feed y'all (st. ii), and protect you in life and in death (st. three-4). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with you till nosotros meet again."

A graduate of Middlebury College, Vermont, and of Andover Theological Seminary, Newton Middle, Massachusetts, Rankin served Congregational churches in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., and New Bailiwick of jersey (1855-1889). In 1889 he became president of Howard University, Washington, D.C., a schoolhouse famous for its many prominent African American graduates. Rankin issued three volumes of poesy and hymn texts (of which "God Be with You" is his about well-known), collaborated in the compilation of hymnals such as The Gospel Temperance Hymnal (1878) and Gospel Bells (1880), and published High german-English Lyrics, Sacred and Secular (1897).

Liturgical Use:
Though traditionally used when ministers, missionaries, or others take their get out from a congregation, this hymn is generally useful as a dismissal hymn, every bit a prayer for approving, and as a sung benediction.
