824. God Be with You Till We Meet Again

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;
'neath his 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 his arm unfailing round 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 threat'ning wave before you:
God be with you till we meet again.
