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

It was written every bit a Christian good-adieu; it was called along by no person or occasion, simply was deliberately equanimous equally a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "good-cheerio," which ways "God be with you." The kickoff stanza was sent to two unlike composers, 1 of musical note, the other [William Chiliad. Tomer] wholly unknown and not thoroughly educated in music. I selected the composition of the latter, and with some slight changes information technology was published.

The first stanza was published in 1880 with the tune GOD BE 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 L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals usually print only four stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting blessing, a prayer that God will guide you (st. 1), feed you lot (st. 2), and protect y'all in life and in death (st. 3-iv). Each stanza is framed past the phrase "God be with you till nosotros run across again."

A graduate of Middlebury College, Vermont, and of Andover Theological Seminary, Newton Heart, 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 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 German language-English language Lyrics, Sacred and Secular (1897).

Liturgical Utilise:
Though traditionally used when ministers, missionaries, or others have their leave from a congregation, this hymn is generally useful as a dismissal hymn, as a prayer for blessing, and every bit a sung benediction.
