Come, love of Christ, afresh to win us

O breath of love, come breathe within us

Words: Elizabeth A P Head (1850-1936)
Tune: Spiritus Vitae


O breath of love, come breathe within us,
renewing thought and will and heart;
come, love of Christ, afresh to win us,
revive your Church in every part!

O wind of God, come bend us, break us
till humbly we confess our need;
then, in your tenderness remake us,
revive, restore-for this we plead.

O breath of life, come sweeping through us,
revive your Church with life and power;
O breath of life, come, cleanse, renew us
and fit your Church to meet this hour.

Selah.
