O Breath of life, come sweeping
through us,
Revive thy Church with life and power;
O Breath of life, come, cleanse, renew
us,
And fit thy Church to meet this hour.
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.
O Breath 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.
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.
