1. Breathe upon us, Lord from heaven,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost;
Promise of the Father given,
Send us now a Pentecost.
Chorus:
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 hovers near us,
Open all our hearts we pray;
To Thine image, Lord, restore us,
Witness in our souls today.
3. Lift us, Lord, oh, lift us higher,
From the carnal mind set free;
Fill us with refining fire,
Give us perfect liberty.
