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

It was written equally a Christian good-adieu; it was called forth by no person or occasion, merely was deliberately composed as a Christian hymn on the footing of the etymology of "skilful-bye," which means "God be with you." The commencement stanza was sent to 2 different composers, ane of musical note, the other [William Thousand. 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 BE WITH Y'all 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 L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Mod hymnals usually impress only four stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting approval, a prayer that God will guide you (st. i), feed yous (st. ii), and protect yous in life and in death (st. 3-four). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with you till we meet again."

A graduate of Middlebury College, 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 University, Washington, D.C., a school 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 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 take 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.
