Breathe on me, Breath of God
Edwin Hatch, 1878. To be sung to Carlisle.
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.
3
Breathe on me, Breath of God, Till I am wholly thine, Till all 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.
