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.

Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

Blend all my soul with Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.

But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
