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

It was written equally a Christian expert-bye; information technology was chosen forth by no person or occasion, just was deliberately equanimous as a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "good-farewell," which means "God exist with you lot." The start stanza was sent to ii different composers, one of musical note, the other [William G. Tomer] wholly unknown and not thoroughly educated in music. I selected the limerick of the latter, and with some slight changes it was published.

The first stanza was published in 1880 with the melody GOD Exist WITH YOU by William G. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included eight stanzas. A pop hymn, "God Be with You" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight Fifty. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals usually print only four stanzas.

The text is essentially a departing approving, a prayer that God volition guide you (st. 1), feed y'all (st. 2), and protect y'all in life and in death (st. 3-four). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with you till we meet once more."

A graduate of Middlebury Higher, 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 schoolhouse 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 Use:
Though traditionally used when ministers, missionaries, or others have their exit from a congregation, this hymn is more often than not useful as a dismissal hymn, as a prayer for approval, and equally a sung benediction.
