That I May Love

"That I May Love draws its title from the first verse of the hymn, “Breathe on me, Breath of God”. It’s prayer-like request is that the loving nature of God bestowed on those who sing the hymn so that they may love as consistently and deeply as God does. Given human nature it seems a sensible request and one that may well be summed up in the works of Mother Theresa when she said, ‘Do not think that love to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.’

The hymn, “Breathe on me, Breath of God” was written by Edwin Hatch in 1878 and set to the melody ‘Trentham’ composed by Robert Jackson in the same year. It has been suggested that the fluid nature of the tune amplifies the simple entreaty of the words, as it seems to ‘breathe’ as it ebbs and flows."
