origin of 'Good Bye'

By BetaWolfinVA

God be with you in all your travels
God be with you in all your days
God be with you in times of trouble
God be with you in times of darkness
God be with you in times of joy
God be with you in times of hope
God be with you and those you love as you go about your days

in any aspect of universe or deity that you hold dear

    Yes, English for that is "Go with God"... Not sure why the English went for the more general "God be With you"... I wonder if the difference is that the English hope god to be with them no matter what they do, and the Spanish hope that they are acting as god desires? Scholar
