THE LIVING BREATH

HANNAM MORE KOHAUS, 1895

Spirit of God, oh move upon

The "waters of my soul ;

Vibrate its thousand living strings,

And make me truly whole.

Spirit of God, oh quicken me

With spiritual life ;

Let me be born anew and thus

With quickening power be rife.

Spirit of God, I open wide

My inmost soul to thee ;

Come in, come in and here abide,

To make me wholly free.

Spirit of God, oh thought divine.

With ceaseless action thrill

Me into conscious oneness with

God-Life, God-Love, God-Will.
