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

It was written as a Christian good-bye; it was chosen forth past no person or occasion, simply was deliberately equanimous as a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "adept-adieu," which means "God be with you." The first stanza was sent to 2 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 by William G. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included eight stanzas. A popular hymn, "God Exist with You" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modernistic hymnals usually print just four stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting blessing, a prayer that God will guide you (st. 1), feed you (st. 2), and protect you lot in life and in death (st. 3-4). 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 Center, Massachusetts, Rankin served Congregational churches in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., and New Bailiwick of 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 Y'all" is his most well-known), collaborated in the compilation of hymnals such every bit The Gospel Temperance Hymnal (1878) and Gospel Bells (1880), and published German language-English language Lyrics, Sacred and Secular (1897).

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