| 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 or 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.
5. **alt verses
6. Breathe on me, breath of God, Blend all my soul with Thine, Until this earthly part of me Glows with Thy fire divine.
