1 God be with you till we meet again;
loving counsels guide, uphold you,
with a shepherd's care enfold you:
God be with you till we meet again.

2 God be with you till we meet again;
unseen wings protecting hide you,
daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again.

3 God be with you till we meet again;
when life's perils thick confound you,
put unfailing arms around you:
God be with you till we meet again.

4 God be with you till we meet again;
keep love's banner floating o'er you;
smite death's threatening wave before you:
God be with you till we meet again.

Text Information:

After writing the first stanza of his “Christian Good-bye,” the author sent it to two composers, one celebrated and one unknown, to see how each would set it. This is the second person’s tune, which the author found more effective and used for the hymn’s first publication.
