Northfield Hymnal ‎#63

63. Breath 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 would’st do;
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou would’st do.

2 Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure;
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do, or to endure;
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do, or 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;
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;
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
