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.Breathe on me,
Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until with thee I will one will,
to do and to endure.Breathe on me,
Breath of God,
till I am wholly thine,
till all this earthly part of me
glows with thy fire divine.Breathe on me,
Breath of God,
so shall I never die,
but live with thee
the perfect life of thine eternity.text by Edwin Hatch, 1835-1889
