Breathe on me, breath of God by Charles Lockhart — Lyrics
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

About Breathe on me, breath of God
A hymn setting for SATB choir, Breathe on me, breath of God is a prayer for divine inspiration and spiritual renewal. The text expresses a deep yearning to be filled with God's spirit, to align one's will with the divine, and to be purified and transformed. The composer Charles Lockhart crafts a setting that aims to capture the devotional intensity of the words. This anthem would be particularly fitting for services focused on the Holy Spirit, Pentecost, or times of personal spiritual seeking. Its familiar, heartfelt message and accessible SATB voicing make it a suitable choice for choirs seeking to convey profound spiritual truths through music.
