Jeremiah E. Rankin (b. Thornton, NH, 1828; d. Cleveland, OH, 1904) says of his hymn text,

It was written equally a Christian expert-farewell; it was chosen forth past no person or occasion, but was deliberately composed equally a Christian hymn on the ground of the etymology of "good-bye," which means "God exist with you lot." The first stanza was sent to 2 unlike composers, 1 of musical note, the other [William One thousand. 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 first stanza was published in 1880 with the tune GOD Be WITH You lot past William G. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included viii stanzas. A pop hymn, "God Be with You" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals ordinarily print only four stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting blessing, a prayer that God volition guide y'all (st. ane), feed yous (st. 2), and protect y'all in life and in decease (st. iii-4). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with you till nosotros meet 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 University, Washington, D.C., a school famous for its many prominent African American graduates. Rankin issued iii 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 High german-English Lyrics, Sacred and Secular (1897).

Liturgical Utilise:
Though traditionally used when ministers, missionaries, or others take their leave from a congregation, this hymn is generally useful every bit a dismissal hymn, as a prayer for approving, and as a sung benediction.
