Breathe, Oh Jesus Christ, Thy Spirit
Into every waiting heart;
We beneath Thy throne are pleading;
Fire, we know, Thou must impart.

Refrain
At Thy feet we bow, Oh, Jesus,
Fill us with the fire divine;
Put within us burning passion,
In our hearts Thy love enshrine.

Burn upon us in Thy purging
Till our dross is all consumed,
And thro' pain we rise in beauty
With Thy grace our lives perfumed.

Purge from out us all self-seeking,
In our hearts the cross infused,
That the world in wonder watching
Might not long Thy blood refuse.
