1 

Lord, breathe Thy breath of life upon me,

   I'm as a bone disjoined and dry;

O may Thou quicken and restore me

   And with Thy Body unify.

 2 

Lord, breathe Thy breath of life upon me,

   My spirit is so bound and slow;

O break my shackles and release me,

   To mingle in Thy Body's flow.

 3 

Lord, breathe Thy breath of life upon me,

   My burdened spirit cannot rise;

May Thou encourage and revive me

   To share Thy Body's full supplies.

 4 

Lord, breathe Thy breath of life upon me,

   My barren spirit has no joy;

O may Thou satisfy and bless me,

   Thy Body's riches to enjoy.

 5 

Lord, breathe Thy breath of life upon me,

   To me a true dependence give;

Deal with my death and isolation,

   That in Thy Body I may live.
