517. Breathe on me, breath of God

Author: Edwin Hatch 1835-89

Breathe on me, breath of God:
fill me with life anew,
that as you love, I too may love,
and do what you would do.

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

3. Breathe on me, breath of God;
be all my heart’s desire,
until this earthly part of me
glows with your heavenly fire.

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