842--Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,

Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,

842

	1.	Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,
		My drooping spirit raise;
		Deliver me from fear and death
		Into Thy life of praise.
	2.	Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,
		Strength to my spirit bring,
		That running, walking, fainting not,
		I'll mount on eagle's wings.
	3.	Breath Thou, O Lord, on me,
		That I may enter rest,
		That heart and spirit joyful be
		By leaning on Thy breast.
	4.	Breath 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.	Breath Thou on me and touch
		My independency,
		That in Thy Body I'll be built
		With all the saints in Thee.
