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

It was written as a Christian skilful-bye; it was chosen along past no person or occasion, just was deliberately composed equally a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "good-bye," which means "God be with you." The offset stanza was sent to ii different 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 past William K. 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 L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals usually print only four stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting approval, a prayer that God will guide you lot (st. 1), feed yous (st. ii), and protect you in life and in death (st. three-four). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with you till nosotros meet once more."

A graduate of Middlebury Higher, Vermont, and of Andover Theological Seminary, Newton Centre, 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 Academy, 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 nearly 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 mostly useful every bit a dismissal hymn, equally a prayer for blessing, and as a sung benediction.
