God Be with You till We Meet Again

This is a lovely hymn and it was just playing this morning, so I thought I would record the words


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.

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.

(Refrain)

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)

God be with you till we meet again;
Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Smite death's threatening wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again.

(Refrain)

(Personal note: This hymn is intriguing in that it seems to know that the next time the two will meet will be at Jesus' feet, implying that one of them is already with the Lord. Is the person "singing" it already gone and sending well wishes to the one still here?)
