Video copyright Youtube User ID bobf72450.God Be With You Till We Meet Again performed by The Ely Cathedral Choir from the album, Will Your Anchor Hold. Jeremiah Rankin wrote this fine hymn in 1882. You'd think a song like that had a special story behind it- but no. Rankin said he just wanted something the church could sing when service was breaking up for the week. He got the idea for the first stanza of the song when the dictionary told him that "good-bye" was short for "God be with you."Rankin was a Congregationalist but he sent the words to the Methodist organist, William G. Tomer, who wrote the tune. However, it was Ira B. Sankey, Moody's song evangelist, who really popularized the song, singing it on both sides of the Atlantic.
