470. Breathe on me, Breath of God

1 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.

2 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with thee I will one will,
To do and to endure. A-men.

3 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Unite my soul with thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with thy fire divine.

4 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with thee the perfect life
Of thine eternity.

Amen.
