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
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
3.
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
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.
Amen
