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.
