Have
faith in God –
Who healeth our diseases;
Have faith in God –
His hand from pain releases;
Have faith in God –
Whose mercy never ceases.
Have faith, dear friend, in God.
Breathe on Me, Breath of God
Edwin Hatch, 1835-1889
So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. John 20:21, 22.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.Breathe on me, breath of God,
Blend all my soul with Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.Breathe on me, breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
