488. Breathe on Me, Breath of God

1 Breathe on me, breath of God;
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love all that you love
And do what you would do.

2 Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with you I will one will
To do and to endure.

3 Breathe on me, breath of God;
So shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life
Of your eternity.
