O Breath of God
Alfred H. Vine • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 85:1-8
Verse 1
O breath of God, breathe on us now and move within us while we pray; you are the spring of our new life, the very light of our new day.
Verse 2
How strangely you are with us, Lord, neither in height nor depth to seek: in nearness shall your voice be heard; spirit to spirit you will speak.
Verse 3
Christ is our advocate on high; you are our advocate within: O plead the truth, and make reply to every argument of sin.
Verse 4
But what a faithless heart of mine: the way I know, I know my guide: forgive me, O my friend divine, that I so often turn aside.
Verse 5
Be with me when no other friend the mystery of my heart can share; be always known, when fears descend, by your best name of Comforter.
