Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me

Breathe Thou

O Lord

on me

My drooping spirit raise;

Deliver me from fear and death

Into Thy life of praise.

Breathe Thou

O Lord

on me

Strength to my spirit bring

That running

walking

fainting not

I’ll mount on eagles’ wings.

Breathe Thou

O Lord

on me

That I may enter rest

That heart and spirit joyful be

By leaning on Thy breast.

Breathe Thou

O Lord

on me

Till filled with Thee

I plead

No longer I that live

but Christ

In thought

and word

and deed.

Breathe Thou on me and touch

My independency

That in Thy Body I’ll be built

With all the saints in Thee.
