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.

[3]
Breathe on me, breath of God,
till I am wholly 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.
