This track, featured in the 2001 film One Night the Moon, is Ruby Hunter’s rendition of Edwin Hatch’s 19th-century Christian hymn “Breathe on Me, Breath of God”. In this recording, the text is set to the tune of “St Columba,” a traditional Irish melody.
[Verse 1]
O, breathe on me, breath of God
Fill me with life anew
That I may love what You do love
And do what You would do
[Verse 2]
O, breathe on me, breath of God
Till I am wholly Thine
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine
[Verse 3]
O, breathe on me, breath of God
So shall I never die
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity
O Breathe On Me was written by Traditional & Edwin Hatch.
