#389 — Breathe 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 wouldst do.

2. Breathe on me, breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until with thee I will one will
to do and 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.
