1  Burning, burning, we are burning,

    Ever to our spirits turning,

    One for Thine eternal purpose,

          in spirit one;

    On the ground of locality,

    We express our unity —

    Many members, but one Body,

          Christ as our Head.

 2  Breathing, breathing, we are breathing,

    With each breath new life receiving,

    What a transformation from the old

          to the new;

    Breathing out the old life from us,

    Breathing in new life and oneness,

    We are breathing in of Jesus, we are

          breathing in of life.
