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

It was written as a Christian good-bye; information technology was called along past no person or occasion, but was deliberately composed every bit a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "good-farewell," which means "God be with you." The starting time stanza was sent to two dissimilar composers, ane of musical note, the other [William G. 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 Exist WITH You by William G. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included eight stanzas. A popular hymn, "God Be with You" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight 50. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Mod hymnals normally print only four stanzas.

The text is essentially a departing blessing, a prayer that God will guide you (st. 1), feed y'all (st. 2), and protect you lot in life and in death (st. iii-4). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God exist with you till we meet again."

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 school famous for its many prominent African American graduates. Rankin issued three 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 Use:
Though traditionally used when ministers, missionaries, or others take their leave from a congregation, this hymn is more often than not useful as a dismissal hymn, as a prayer for blessing, and every bit a sung benediction.
