Who wrote this one? At my church we do O Breathe on MeO Breath of God St. Columbia tune.

very hard to sing this song without a "lump" in your throat, if you know what i mean... especially the third verse... esp. "till i am wholly thine, till all this earthly part of me glows with fire divine"... Oh the circumstances this song was written! Edwin was a status quo preacher, he didn't feel particularly sinful at this stage or down, just that God was not moving mightily and just ho hum through the mot. He grabbed a pen one afternoon and just scribbled what we sing now as breathe on me...

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. This past Sunday (May 11), I played this for Sunday School Assembly, since it was Pentecost. Sadly, this hymn is not in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. It was in the Lutheran Book of Worship, but set to a different tune. It was #488 in the Commitment Section. The tune was DURHAM and was composed by Aaron Williams (1731-1776). Just thought I'd share.

This was written by an Anglican. I think he would have found a home in the new Anglican Church in North America. It is a beautiful, profound, and stiring hymn. I would only want to sing it to Trentham. May God bless your service.

Good job...easier when the congregation wants to sing and knows why they sing.
