AT A FAREWELL, by JEREMIAH EAMES RANKIN Poet's Biography First Line: God be with you till we meet again Last Line: God be with you till we meet again. | |||
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. God be with you till we meet again, 'Neath His wings protecting hide you; Daily manna still divide you; God be with you till we meet again. God be with you till we meet again, With the oil of joy anoint you; Sacred ministries appoint 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 arms unfailing round you; God be with you till we meet again. God be with you till we meet again, Of His promises remind you; For life's upper garner bind you; God be with you till we meet again. God be with you till we meet again, Sicknesses and sorrows taking, Never leaving nor forsaking; 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. God be with you till we meet again. Ended when for you earth's story, Israel's chariot sweep to glory; God be with you till we meet again. CHORUS: Till we meet at Jesus' feet, God be with you till we meet again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAIREST OF FREEDOM'S DAUGHTERS by JEREMIAH EAMES RANKIN SOUVENIR by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 8 by THOMAS CAMPION THE WINDHOVER: TO CHRIST OUR LORD by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THREE FRIENDS OF MINE: 5; SONNET by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE SOBBING OF THE BELLS (MIDNIGHT, SEPT. 19-20, 1881) by WALT WHITMAN THE NATIVE LAND by FRANCISCO DE ALDANA ON KEAN'S HAMLET by WASHINGTON ALLSTON |
