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;
til I am wholly Thine,
until 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.
