About this Hymn
This is one of the most simple yet profound prayers for the Holy Spirit simply to make us more like Jesus—that we would love what he loves and do what he does, until our will is like his and ultimately we live with him in perfect life. Try to sing this one in harmony and let the voices ring out.
Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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, till 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.
