| Composer: | Clement C. Scholefield |
1 O Breath of Life, come sweeping through us,
revive your church with life and power.
O Breath of Life, come, cleanse, renew us,
And fit your church to meet this hour.
2 O Wind of God, come bend us, break us,
till humbly we confess our need.
Then in your tenderness remake us,
revive, restore, for this we plead.
3 O Breath of Love, come breathe within us,
renewing thought and will and heart.
Come, love of Christ, afresh to win us,
revive your church in every part.
