Never Leaving or Forsaking

A lovely version of this hymn was played at the end of my aunt’s memorial service in Austin, which I watched online.

God Be With You Till We Meet Again

Jeremiah E. Rankin

God be with you till we meet again;
By His coun­sels guide, up­hold you,
With His sheep se­cure­ly fold 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;
Neath His 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;
With the oil of joy an­oint you;
Sacred min­is­tries ap­point 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 His arms un­fail­ing round you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Refrain

God be with you till we meet again;
Of His pro­mis­es re­mind you;
For life’s up­per gar­ner bind you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Refrain

God be with you till we meet again;
Sicknesses and sor­rows tak­ing,
Never leav­ing or for­sak­ing;
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,
Strike death’s threat­en­ing wave be­fore you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Refrain

God be with you till we meet again;
Ended when for you earth’s sto­ry,
Israel’s cha­ri­ot sweep to glo­ry;
God be with you till we meet again.
