God be with you till we meet again by David Cameron — Lyrics
God be with you till we meet again;
loving counsels guide, uphold you,
with a shepherd’s care enfold you:
God be with you till we meet again.
God be with you till we meet again;
unseen wings protecting hide you,
daily manna still provide you:
God be with you till we meet again.

About God be with you till we meet again
David Cameron’s SATB anthem sets the familiar parting words of God be with you till we meet again. The music opens with a homophonic setting of the first phrase, establishing its warm and comforting character. The careful interplay between the voices throughout allows the text’s message of divine protection and guidance to be clearly conveyed. The composer ensures that each repetition of the refrain is given a distinct yet related musical shape, building gently towards the conclusion. This is a piece that offers solace and reassurance in its well-crafted harmonies and clear textual declamation.
