Jeremiah Eastward. Rankin (b. Thornton, NH, 1828; d. Cleveland, OH, 1904) says of his hymn text,

It was written as a Christian practiced-bye; it was called forth past no person or occasion, but was deliberately composed as a Christian hymn on the basis of the etymology of "practiced-bye," which means "God exist with you." The first stanza was sent to two unlike composers, one of musical note, the other [William G. Tomer] wholly unknown and non thoroughly educated in music. I selected the limerick of the latter, and with some slight changes information technology was published.

The first stanza was published in 1880 with the tune GOD Exist WITH YOU by William Yard. Tomer in Gospel Bells; the 1883 edition of that hymnal included eight stanzas. A popular hymn, "God Exist with You" gained currency through the evangelistic crusades of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey (PHH 73). Modern hymnals normally print only 4 stanzas.

The text is essentially a parting approving, a prayer that God will guide you (st. ane), feed you (st. 2), and protect you in life and in death (st. 3-4). Each stanza is framed past the phrase "God be with you till we encounter 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 Academy, Washington, D.C., a school famous for its many prominent African American graduates. Rankin issued 3 volumes of verse and hymn texts (of which "God Be with Y'all" is his most well-known), collaborated in the compilation of hymnals such as The Gospel Temperance Hymnal (1878) and Gospel Bells (1880), and published 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.
