O Breath of Life

Verse 1

O Breath of life, come sweeping through us, revive your church with life and pow'r; O Breath of Life, come, cleanse, renew us, and fit your church to meet this hour.

Verse 2

O Wind of God, come bend us, break us, till humbly we confess our need; then in your tenderness remake us, revive, restore, for this we plead.

Verse 3

O Breath of love, come breathe within us, renewing thought and will and heart; come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us, revive your church in ev'ry part.

Verse 4

O Heart of Christ, once broken for us, 'tis there we find our strength and rest; our broken, contrite hearts now solace, and let your waiting church be blest.

Verse 5

Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating while harvest fields are vast and white? Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting, equip your church to spread the light.
