Good-bye, and God be with you

Good bye, and God be with you

Where'er your pathway lies,

With every memory of you

My prayers shall fondly rise.

Good-bye, and God be with you,

A shield from pain and care,

May every night bring peace and rest,

And all your days be fair.

Good-bye, and God be with you

When darkness gathers near,

May Hope's glad light dispel the night

And drive away dark fear.

Good bye, and God be with you,

Sweet blessings round you fall,

God keep and guard you,

Dearest friend of all!
