	O BREATH of God, breathe on us now,    And move within us while we pray; The spring of our new life art Thou,     The very light of our new day.
2	How closely Thou art with us, Lord,     Neither in height nor depth to seek; In nearness shall Thy voice be heard;     Spirit to spirit Thou dost speak.
3	Christ is our Advocate on high:     Thou art our Advocate within; O, plead the Truth, and make reply     To every argument of sin.
4	But O, this faithless heart of mine!     The way I know, I know my Guide: Forgive me, O my Friend divine,     That I so often turn aside.
5	Be with me when no other friend     The mystery of my heart can share; And be Thou known, when fears transcend,     By Thy best name of Comforter.
	Alfred Henry Vine, 1845-1917
