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.
Breathe on me, Breath of God, Until my heart is pure, Until with thee I will one will, To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God, Till I am wholly thine, Until this earthly part of me Glows with thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, Breath of God; So shall I never die, But live with thee the perfect life Of thine eternity.
