I Breathe The Breath Of God
Affirming The Classics: Breathe On Me Breathe Of God (hymn)
by Edwin Hatch
I breathe the Breath Of God
I Am filled with life anew
I Am unconditional love
I do what God would do
I breathe the Breath Of God
My heart is open and pure
I am aligned with God
Now and forever more
I breathe the Breath Of God
I Am a spark of the Divine
This Earthly part of me
Glows as God’s Essence is mine
I breathe the Breath Of God
Through all eternity
I know I shall never die
My Soul is God as me

ORIGINAL VERSION: Breathe On Me Breathe Of God (hymn)
Breathe on me, Breath of God
Fill me with life anew
That I may love what Thou dost love
And do what Thou wouldst do
Breathe on me, Breath of God
Until my heart is pure
Until my will is one with Thine
To do and to endure
Breathe on me, Breath of God
Till I am wholly Thine
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine
Breathe on me, Breath of God
So shall I never die
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity
Edwin Hatch 1835 – 1889
