Confirmation 380. Breathe on me, Breath of God

S.M.

[1440]Nova Vita:

Lister R. Peace, 1914

Edwin Hatch, 1878

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 or 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.

Amen.
