Good‑bye, and God be with you
Language: English
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!
