The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#475b

475b. O Breath of life, come sweeping through us

1 O Breath of life, come sweeping through us,
revive Your Church with life and power;
O Breath of life, come, cleanse, renew us,
and fit Your Church to meet this hour.

2 O Wind of God, come bend us, break us,
till humbly we confess our need;
then in Your tenderness remake us,
revive, restore, for this we plead.

3 O Breath of love, come breathe within us,
renewing thought and will and heart;
come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us,
revive Your Church in every part.

4 Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating
while harvest fields are vast and white?
Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting,
equip Your Church to spread the light.
