As now we breathe the heav’nly air

1
As now we breathe the heav’nly air,
The fragrance from above;
May every soul put off the flesh
Each spirit fill with love.
2
Lord, cause our hearts to intertwine;
Fill us with love divine;
Forbid the day that we would change
And not love Thee or Thine.
3
We all must take Your cross as guide,
To all Your will be true;
Thus only draw we closer to
Each other, and to You.
