Words to the Song Till We Meet Again

Representative Text

1 God be with you till we encounter again;
loving counsels guide, uphold you,
may the Shepherd's care enfold you;
God be with you till we run into again.

Refrain:
Till we meet, till nosotros meet,
till we meet at Jesus' anxiety.
Till we meet, till we run into,
God be with you till nosotros come across again.

2 God be with you lot till we run into again;
unseen wings, protecting, hibernate you,
daily manna yet provide you;
God be with you till nosotros meet once again. [Refrain]

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

4 God be with you till nosotros meet over again;
keep love's banner floating o'er you,
smite death's threat'ning moving ridge before yous;
God be with you till we run across over again. [Refrain]

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

It was written as a Christian good-bye; it was called along by no person or occasion, but was deliberately composed every bit a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "good-bye," which means "God exist with you." The starting time stanza was sent to two different composers, one of musical note, the other [William One thousand. Tomer] wholly unknown and not thoroughly educated in music. I selected the limerick of the latter, and with some slight changes it was published.

The first stanza was published in 1880 with the tune GOD Exist WITH Y'all by William 1000. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included 8 stanzas. A pop hymn, "God Be with Yous" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals usually print just 4 stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting approval, a prayer that God will guide you (st. i), feed yous (st. 2), and protect you lot in life and in decease (st. 3-4). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with you till we run across over again."

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

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