Holy Ghost Baptism · Hymn 201
Breathe upon us, Lord from heaven
“He breathed on them, and said to them, ”Receive the Holy Spirit”. John 20:22
1.
Breathe upon us, Lord from heaven
Fill us with the Holy Ghost
Promise of the Father given
Send us now a Pentecost
Refrain
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us
With Thy love our hearts inspire
Breathe upon us, breathe upon us
Lord baptize us now with fire.
2.
While the Spirit hover o’er us
Open all our hearts, we pray
To Thine image, Lord, restore us
Witness in our souls today
3.
From all sin grant us exemption
Wash us in the cleansing flood
Let us know the full redemption
Purchased for us by the blood
4.
Lift us, Lord, O lift us higher
From the carnal mind set free
Fill us with refining fire
Give us perfect liberty.
Amen
