1
Breathe upon us Lord from Heaven
Fill us with the Holy Ghost
Promise of the Father given
Send us now a Pentecost

Breathe upon us breathe upon us
With Thy love our hearts inspire
Breathe upon us breathe upon us
Lord baptize us now with fire

2
While the Spirit hovers o’er us
Open all our hearts we pray
To Thine image Lord restore us
Witness in our souls today

Breathe upon us breathe upon us
With Thy love our hearts inspire
Breathe upon us breathe upon us
Lord baptize us now with fire

3
Lift us Lord O lift us higher
From the carnal mind set free
Fill us with refining fire
Give us perfect liberty

Breathe upon us breathe upon us
With Thy love our hearts inspire
Breathe upon us breathe upon us
Lord baptize us now with fire
