1. Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,
  My drooping spirit raise;
  Deliver me from fear and death
  Into Thy life of praise.
2. Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,
  Strength to my spirit bring,
  That running, walking, fainting not,
  I'll mount on eagle's wings.
3. Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,
  That I may enter rest,
  That heart and spirit joyful be
  By leaning on Thy breast.
4. Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,
  Till filled with Thee, I plead,
  No longer I that live, but Christ
  In thought, and word, and deed.
5. Breath Thou on me and touch
  My independency,
  That in Thy Body I'll be built
  With all the saints in Thee.
