This hymn has a unique tune

 
 1 

Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me,

My drooping spirit raise;

Deliver me from fear and death

Into Thy life of praise.

 
 2 

Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me,

Strength to my spirit bring,

That running, walking, fainting not,

I'll mount on eagles' wings.

 
 3 

Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me,

That I may enter rest,

That heart and spirit joyful be

By leaning on Thy breast.

 
 4 

Breathe Thou, O Lord, on me

Till filled with Thee, I plead,

No longer I that live, but Christ

In thought, and word, and deed.

 
 5 

Breathe Thou on me and touch

My independency,

That in Thy Body I'll be built

With all the saints in Thee.
