The lyrics to Bill & Gloria Gaither's song "God Be With You" express a sense of farewell and a prayer for God's guidance and presence until the next time the individuals meet. The repetition of the phrase "God be with you" reinforces the idea that the person being addressed will be in the songwriter's thoughts and prayers, even if they do not meet again. The line "if we never more shall meet you" acknowledges the possibility of permanent separation, but also emphasizes the hope of future reunion.
The final verse encourages the listener to continue working for the "master" (likely referring to God) and assures them that God will be with them both in the present and the afterlife. This verse highlights the idea that God's presence is not limited to physical interactions or locations, but rather is a constant source of comfort and guidance.
Overall, "God Be With You" is a poignant and heartfelt expression of farewell and a hope for future reunion, with an emphasis on the comforting presence of God.
