596. Breathe on me, Breath of God

1 Breathe on me, Breath of God;
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the way you love,
and do what you would do.

2 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until with you I will one will,
to do and to endure.

3 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
direct my heart's desire,
till every earthly part of me
glows with your holy fire.

4 Breathe on me, Breath of God;
so shall I never die,
but live with you the perfect life
of your eternity.
