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 or to endure.
3 Breathe on me, Breath of God, till I am wholly thine, till all 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.
