Breathe upon us, Lord from heaven
Meter: 8.7.8.7. & Ref.
Scripture: John 20:22
1
Breathe upon us, Lord from heaven,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost:
Promise of the Father given,
Send us now a Pentecost.
CHORUS
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us;
With Thy love our hearts inspire,
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us;
Lord baptize us now with fire.
2
While the spirit hovers o’er us;
Open all our hearts, we pray:
To thine image, Lord, restore us,
Witness in our souls today.
3
From all sin grant us exemption,
Wash us in the cleansing flood;
Let us know the full redemption;
Purchased for us by the blood.
4
Life us, Lord O lift us higher,
From the carnal mind set free;
Fill us with refining fire,
Give us perfect liberty.
