Written by Jeremiah E. Rankin in 1880, put to music by William G. Tomer in 1882 ...as a Christian good-bye, it was called forth by no per­son or oc­ca­sion, but was de­lib­er­ate­ly com­posed as a Christ­ian hymn on the ba­sis of the ety­mol­o­gy of "good-bye," which is "God be with you."
This rendition by the Christian group Selah, is excellent and heart warming.
