540. 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;
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,
Strike death’s threatening wave before you:
God be with you till we meet again.
