Breathe on us, Lord of life (Alternate Tune)

1
Breathe on us, Lord of life,
  Fill us with life anew,
That we may love what Thou dost love,
  And do what Thou wouldst do.
2
Breathe on us, Lord of life.
  Until our hearts are pure,
Until with Thee we will one will,
  To do or to endure.
3
Breathe on us, Lord of life,
  Till we are wholly Thine,
Till all this earthly part of us
  Glows with Thy fire divine.
4
Breathe on us, Lord of life,
  So shall we never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
  Of Thine eternity.

“The LORD God breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life – man became a living being” – Genesis 2:7

“Jesus breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’” – John 20:22

Both the original creation of man by the LORD God, and the new creation by the resurrected Christ, are equally involved with breathing!
