As now we breathe the heav’nly air

As now we breathe the heav’nly air

The fragrance from above;

May every soul put off the flesh

Each spirit fill with love.

Lord

cause our hearts to intertwine;

Fill us with love divine;

Forbid the day that we would change

And not love Thee or Thine.

We all must take Your cross as guide

To all Your will be true;

Thus only draw we closer to

Each other

and to You.
