148. God be With You

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

2 God be with you till we meet again;
'Neath his wings securely hide you;
Daily manna still divide you,
God be with you till we meet again. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love's banner floating o'er you;
Smite death's threatening waves before you,
God be with you till we meet again. [Refrain]
