O Breath of Life

O breath of life

come sweep­ing through us

Revive Thy church with life and pow­er;

O Breath of life

come

cleanse

re­new us

And fit Thy church to meet this hour.

O wind of God

come bend us

break us

Till hum­bly we con­fess our need;

Then in Thy ten­der­ness re­make us

Revive

re­store

for this we plead.

O breath of love

come breathe with­in us

Renewing thought and will and heart;

Come

love of Christ

afresh to win us

Revive Thy Church in ev­ery part.

O heart of Christ

once brok­en for us

’Tis there we find our strength and rest;

Our brok­en

con­trite hearts now so­lace

And let Thy wait­ing Church be blest.

Revive us

Lord! Is zeal abat­ing

While har­vest fields are vast and white?

Revive

us Lord

the world is wait­ing

Equip Thy Church to spread the light.
