292. Breathe on Me, Breath of God

1 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew
That I may love the way 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,
stir in me one desire:
That every earthly part of me
may glow with holy fire.

4 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
so shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life
of your eternity.
