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 called forth by no person or occasion, but was deliberately equanimous as a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "adept-bye," which means "God be with you." The first stanza was sent to two different composers, i of musical note, the other [William Yard. Tomer] wholly unknown and not thoroughly educated in music. I selected the limerick of the latter, and with some slight changes it was published.

The first stanza was published in 1880 with the tune GOD BE WITH Yous past William G. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included 8 stanzas. A pop hymn, "God Exist with You" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals usually impress just iv stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting approval, a prayer that God will guide y'all (st. i), feed you (st. ii), and protect you in life and in death (st. 3-4). Each stanza is framed by the phrase "God be with you till nosotros come across 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 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 poesy and hymn texts (of which "God Be with Yous" is his virtually 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 as a sung benediction.
