May God Be With You

Lyrics by
Jeremiah Eames Rankin (1880)
Music by
William Gould Tomer (1880)
Tune
GOD BE WITH YOU · 9.8.9.8 with refrain
Scripture
Ruth 1:17
Verse 1
May God be with you
Till we meet again,
May God be with you,
Keep you safe till then;
And may His blessings
Be within your heart,
May God be with you
While we're apart,
May God be with you.
Verse 2
May God be with you,
Watch you from above,
May God protect you
In His tender love;
And with the dawning
Of each bright, new day,
May God be with you,
To guide your way,
May God be with you.

Jeremiah Rankin wrote 'God Be with You Till We Meet Again' in 1880 as a Christian alternative to secular farewells, and William Tomer set it to its well-known tune.
