Hi friends! The time has come for me to have to say goodbye for now. As much as I have enjoyed sharing these wonderful hymns, it’s often felt more of a burden to share them because of the other priorities I have in my life at the moment of being a wife and a mother. I hope to one day share again these hymns that I’ve come to love. But for now, I’ll be refocusing my attention on other areas in life that God would have me prioritise.

It is fitting then that the last hymn for the foreseeable future is ‘God Be With You Till We Meet Again’ by Jeremiah Rankin (1828-1904). It was written as a Christian good-bye; deliberately composed as a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of “good-bye,” which means “God be with you”. God be with you all!

God be with you till we meet again;
loving counsels guide, uphold you,
may the Shepherd’s care enfold you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Refrain:
Till we meet, till we meet,
till we meet at Jesus’ feet.
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
