Author: Bessie Porter Head Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #291 (1986) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Topics: Renewal and Revival First Line: O Breath of Life, come sweeping thru us Lyrics: 1 O Breath of Life, come sweeping thru us,
Revive Thy Church with life and pow'r;
O Breath of Life, come, cleanse, renew us,
And fit Thy Church to meet this hour.
2 O Wind of God, come bend us, break us,
Till humbly we confess our need;
Then in Thy tenderness remake us,
Revive, restore, for this we plead.
3 O Breath of Love, come breathe within us,
Renewing thought and will and heart;
Come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us,
Revive Thy Church in ev'ry part.
4 O Heart of Christ, once broken for us,
'Tis there we find our strength and rest;
Our broken contrite hearts now solace,
And let Thy waiting Church be blest.
5 Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating
While harvest fields are vast and white?
Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting,
Equip Thy Church to spread the light.
Amen. Tune Title: DET AR ETT FAST ORD
