Church Hymn With Til We Meet Again

Representative Text

ane God be with you till we run across once again;
loving counsels guide, uphold you,
may the Shepherd's care enfold you lot;
God be with you till nosotros meet over again.

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

2 God exist with y'all till we meet once more;
unseen wings, protecting, hibernate you,
daily manna yet provide you;
God be with you lot till nosotros encounter once again. [Refrain]

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

4 God exist with you till we see once again;
go along love'south imprint floating o'er you,
smite expiry's threat'ning moving ridge before y'all;
God exist with yous till nosotros run across 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-cheerio; it was called forth past no person or occasion, but was deliberately composed as a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "good-cheerio," which means "God be with y'all." The first stanza was sent to two unlike composers, one of musical note, the other [William K. 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 get-go stanza was published in 1880 with the melody GOD BE WITH YOU by William M. 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 50. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modernistic hymnals normally print simply four stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting blessing, a prayer that God volition guide you (st. 1), feed you (st. 2), and protect you in life and in decease (st. 3-4). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with y'all till nosotros come across once again."

A graduate of Middlebury College, 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 Academy, Washington, D.C., a school famous for its many prominent African American graduates. Rankin issued 3 volumes of poetry and hymn texts (of which "God Be with You" is his most well-known), collaborated in the compilation of hymnals such as The Gospel Temperance Hymnal (1878) and Gospel Bells (1880), and published German-English Lyrics, Sacred and Secular (1897).

Liturgical Utilize:
Though traditionally used when ministers, missionaries, or others take their get out from a congregation, this hymn is more often than not useful as a dismissal hymn, every bit a prayer for blessing, and every bit a sung benediction.
