Full hymn text

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. While the Spirit hovers o’er us,
Open all our hearts, we pray;
To Thine image, Lord, restore us,
Witness in our souls today. Lift us, Lord, oh, lift us higher,
From the carnal mind set free;
Fill us with refining fire,
Give us perfect liberty.
