Author: Bessie P. Head; Jan Foss, 1954- Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15419 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 O Frym’ e jetës, ti përshkona
Na mbush me jetë dhe fuqi.
O eja, Frymë, dhe pastrona,
Për këtë orë pajisna ti.
2 Fryj, Erë e Zotit, dhe mësona,
Dob’sitë tona t’i kuptojmë;
Dhe në but’si, Zot, rikrijona.
Ringjallna sot. Këtë kërkojmë.
3 Mbushna vullnetin, zemrën, mendjen,
Me frym’ të re të dashurisë.
Gjith’ ne ripërtërijna brenda.
Ringjall çdo pjesë të bashkësisë.
4 Po, Zot, u thye zemra jote,
Që t’gjejm’ ne paqe dhe fuqi.
Midis stuhive të k’saj bote
Jep forcë, durim dhe shpresë ti.
5 Ringjallna, Zot, se ësht’ e bardhe
Fusha e pjekur për shpëtim.
Pajisna për k’të punë të madhe,
Njer’zit t’i çojmë, tek ti të vijnë. Languages: Albanian Tune Title: SPIRITUS VITAE

O Breath of Life
Come, living God, when least expected
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #615a (2013) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.
2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.
3 Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame;
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.
5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.
6 Then we will share his radiant brightness,
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: Doubt; God Presence of; Light; Renewal; Truth; The Word of God Scripture: Exodus 3:1-14 Languages: English Tune Title: SPIRITUS VITRE

Bessie Porter Head
1850 - 1936 Person Name: Bessie P. Head Author of "O Breath of Life, Come Sweeping through Us" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) [Elizabeth Ann Porter Head]
Head, Elizabeth Ann (`Bessie'; née Porter)
b. Belfast: 1850
d. Wimbledon, Surrey: 28 June 1936
She was the youngest daughter of Tobias Porter, manager of John Alexander's flour mill in Belfast. Of her early life nothing is known; but in 1894 she became secretary of the YWCA in Swansea. She then served with the South Africa General Mission from 1897-1907, mostly in Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Johannesburg, helping to found several branches of the YWCA.
With the chairman of the Mission and a fellow missionary she toured North America in 1906-7; her intended return to South Africa in November 1907 was cancelled in favour of marriage, on 17 December, to the chairman, Albert Alfred Head (1844-1928), a wealthy - and generous - insurance underwriter who had been widowed three years previously.
With her husband she continued actively to support both the SAGM and the Keswick Convention, with which the mission was closely associated. She was a frequent speaker for both organizations and a prolific contributor, in prose and in verse, to their publications.
A collection of her writings, Heavenly Places, & Other Messages, was published in 1920.
Invariably known as Bessie Porter before her marriage, she later styled herself Bessie Porter Head. After her husband's death in 1928 she moved into the SAGM house in Wimbledon, where she died.

Grand Rapids, MI, 1990) While attending Dutch church services as a child, Post was first introduced to the Genevan psalms, which influenced her later writings. She attended Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she studied with Henry Zylstra. From 1940 to 1942 she taught at the Muskegon Christian Junior High School. For over thirty years Post wrote poetry for the Grand Rapids Press and various church periodicals.

Two important collections of her poems are I Never Visited an Artist Before (1977) and the posthumous Sandals, Sails, and Saints (1993). A member of the 1987 Psalter Hymnal Revision Committee, Post was a significant contributor to its array of original texts and paraphrases.
