Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again,
'Neath His wings securely hide you,
Daily manna still provide you,
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again,
When life's perils thick confound you,
Put His arms unfailing round you,
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again,
Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Smite death's threat'ning wave before you,
God be with you till we meet again.
The lyrics to Foreigner With the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus's song "Say You Will" are actually a traditional Christian hymn entitled "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." The song is meant to convey a message of farewell to a loved one or friend, asking for God's guidance and protection until the next time they meet. The first verse in particular speaks to the idea that God will guide and protect the listener as they journey through life, and will eventually bring them back together with their loved ones in heaven.
The second verse speaks to the idea that even when the listener is feeling lost or alone, God will be there to provide them with daily strength and sustenance. This verse invites the listener to trust in God's guidance and protection, even when they cannot see their way clearly. The third verse affirms that God's protection is constant, even in the face of life's greatest challenges. The metaphor of God's arms unfailingly surrounding the listener serves to reassure and comfort them in times of distress.
The final verse speaks to the idea that love and faith will conquer death itself, and that God's protection will always be present in times of trouble. The phrase "Keep love's banner floating o'er you" is especially touching, as it suggests that as long as the listener remains true to their faith and to those they love, they will always be protected and guided by God. Ultimately, the song is a message of hope and reassurance to those who are saying goodbye to someone they care about, reminding them that they are never truly alone and that they will one day be reunited in heaven.

So true!
Walter Simmons
Kelly Hansen wasn't the first replacement, it was Johnny Edwards (Buster Brown-Wild Horses) who got picked over Hansen ( Hurricane)and Mark Free( King Kobra)to sing for Foreigner when Lou left in 1990 to go completely solo. UNSUAL HEAT is the only album Foreigner made without Lou to this day , I like and still listen to.

One of my favorite songs of all time & one that we loved performing. It was one of our crowds biggest requests even to the point of multiple encore performances. Foreigner & the Orchestra's performance is heartbreakingly beautiful, a bit haunting yet still OHH so much Fun ! Great Job to Everyone that worked on this !

Отличная группа, наше знакомство состоялось в 1983 году. Менялся состав, но группа всегда была одной из лучших. и песни у них есть запоминающиеся как эта, очень красивая и мелодичная. Браво!!!

I REALLY like this variation. The backing of a symphony orchestra always adds a great deal and it really changes the dynamic of this song. Two thumbs up.
