It is well agreed amongst the etymologists that "good-bye" directly derives from the phrase "[May] God be with ye."

Through similar routes The Oxford English Dictionary indicates that "Good morning" and "Good night" derive from "[May] God give you [a] good night." and "[May] God give you [a] good day."
