O Breathe on Me, O Breath of GOD

ST. Columba
TEXT: CM; Edwin Hatch, 1835-1889, alt. Music: trad Irish.

1. O breathe on me, O Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the things you love,
and do what you would do.

2. O breath on me, O Breath of God,
until my heart is pure;
until my will is one with yours,
to do and to endure.

3. O breath on me, O Breath of God,
my will to yours incline,
until this selfish part of me glows
with your fire divine.

4. O breath on me, O Breath of God,
so I shall never die,
but live with you the perfect
life for all eternity.

This song blows me away! I hunted a bit to find it set to this tune. This is the one that breathes shivers up and down my spine. I would love it as a ringtone on my phone

Thanks for posting. I love this song..... We sing it in church every once in a while. I've looked for it in iTunes but haven't found it.
