1God be with you till we meet again, By his counsels guide, uphold you, With his sheep securely fold you, God be with you till we meet again.

RefrainTill we meet, till we meet, Till we meet at Jesus' feet, Till we meet, till we meet, God be with you till we meet again.

2God be with you till we meet again, 'Neath his wings protecting hide you, Daily manna still provide you, God be with you till we meet again.

3God be with you till we meet again, When life's perils thick confound you, Put his arms unfailing round you, God be with you till we meet again.

4God be with you till we meet again, Keep love's banner floating o'er you, Smite death's threatening wave before you, God be with you till we meet again.
