1 | Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me, |
| My drooping spirit raise; |
| Deliver me from fear and death |
| Into Thy life of praise. |
2 | Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me, |
| Strength to my spirit bring, |
| That running, walking, fainting not, |
| Ill mount on eagles wings. |
3 | Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me |
| That I may enter rest, |
| That heart and spirit joyful be |
| By leaning on Thy breast. |
4 | Breathe 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 | Breathe Thou on me and touch |
| My independency, |
| That in Thy Body Ill be built |
| With all the saints in Thee. |
