Breath on me, breath of God

180 Trentham. S. M.

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.
