Hymn 254: O Breathe of Life, Come Sweeping

Vere 1

O Breath of Life, Come Sweeping

through us,

Revive Thy Church with life and [power;

O Breath of Life, come cleanse, re-

new us,

And fit Thy Church to meet this [hour.

Verse 2

O Wind of God, come bend us,

break us,

Till humbly we confess our need;

Then in Thy tenderness remake us,

Revive, restore, for this we plead.

Verse 3

O Breathe of Love, come Breathe 

within us,

Renewing thought and will and [heart:

Come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us,

Revive Thy Church in every part.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
