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 A POEM FOR MAX NORDAU by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE ENGLISH GRAVEYARD IN MALACCA by KAREN SWENSON THE FISHER by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE A TERRIBLE INFANT by FREDERICK LOCKER-LAMPSON THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: HIAWATHA'S FASTING by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW COLUMBUS [JANUARY, 1487] by LYDIA HUNTLEY SIGOURNEY THE GOUTY MERCHANT AND THE STRANGER by HORACE SMITH IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 54 by ALFRED TENNYSON |
