**********

1. Breathe, cool Spirit, refreshed

Hearts, minds, souls oppressed

Are renewed when you send

Your grace and us tend

 

2. Light to see the way plain

More [of] your image gain

Step by step to follow

More of Christ to know

 

3. Water here to quench thirst

If draught e\'en does worst

And bread of life to feed

Us, meet all our need

 

4. Grant your balm of healing

Peace in everything

Quieten man\'s long strivings

Then praise to you rings

 

5. I shall by you aspire

Seek a spark, a fire

Of your Spirit\'s presence

Then be strengthened hence

 

6. To go forth in your power

To live every hour

Unto you, if I fail

Your grace will prevail

 

7. Meditate a while, hear

To your Lord draw near

In simple tones praising

Honour to Him bring

 

8. On through life, each journey

Here your Spirit be

Within and beside me

Faithful, true, and free

 

9. And to other witness

In your name them bless

The gospel, evangel

Confident them tell

 

10. How His full salvation

Is for each nation

So breathe on all we pray

\'Til eternal day
