Breathe on me Breath of God

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

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

Breathe on me breath of God,
till I am wholly yours,
until this earthly part of me
glows with your fire divine.

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

(Based on words by E.Hatch(1835-89))
