God Be With You

I have been playing the piano a great deal since we bought ours and got it tuned, and it's been such a pleasure to lose myself in the music. I was playing through the hymnal the other night and came across this song that I haven't played (or sung) in years. It's called "God Be With You Till We Meet Again".

I used to belong to an organization when I was a girl called Rainbow Girls and at the close of each meeting during the week of our state convention, this song was our benediction. It brings back memories of those days as well as well as reminding me that my salvation has given me an adopted family. My deepest desire is that each member of my family will rely on God and His blessings in between times that we fellowship together. I offer this song as a reminder that we are all living separate lives, but will one day meet again at the feet of Jesus Christ.

God 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.

Refrain
Till 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.

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

God be with you till we meet again,
When life's perils thick confound you,
Put his loving arms around you:
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again,
Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Smite death's threat'ning wave before you:
God be with you till we meet again

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
