o breathe on me o breath of god

O breathe on me, O breath of God,
Fill me with life anew that I may love
The things You love, and do what you would do.

O breathe on me, O breath of God,
Until my heart is pure;
Until my will is one with Yours,
To do and to endure.

O breathe on me, O breath of God,
My will to Yours incline,
Until this selfish part of me
Glows with Your fire divine.

O breathe on me, O breath of God,
So I shall never die,
But live with You the perfect life
For all eternity.
