BREATHE on me, Breath of God
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what thou dost love,
And do what thou wouldst do.
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what thou dost love,
And do what thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.
Until my heart is pure,
Until with thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Till I am wholly thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with thy fire divine.
Till I am wholly thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, Breath of God;
So shall I never die,
But live with thee the perfect life
Of thine eternity.
So shall I never die,
But live with thee the perfect life
Of thine eternity.
