(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
O Breath of Life, come sweeping thru us,
Revivie Thy church with life and pow’r
O Breath of Life, come, cleanse, renew us,
And fit Thy Church to meet this hour.
2
O Wind of God, come bend us, break us,
Till humbly we confess our need;
Thou in Thy tenderness remake us,
Revive, restore — for this we plead.
3
O Breath of Love, come breathe within us,
Renewing tho’t and will and heart
Come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us,
Revive Thy Church in ev’ry part.
4
O Heart of Christ, once broken for us,
‘Tis there we find our strength and rest,
Our broken contrite hearts now solace,
And let Thy waiting Church be blest.
5
Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating
While harvest fields are vast and white
Revive us, Lord — The world is waiting!
Equip Thy Church to spread the light.
