O Breath of life, come sweeping through us

9.8.9.8. 1 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 ev’ry 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. B.P. Head
