1. This is a prayer of the prophet Habakkuk:
2. O Lord, I have heard of what you have done,and I am filled with awe.Now do again in our timesthe great deeds you used to do.Be merciful, even when you are angry.
3. God is coming again from Edom;the holy God is coming from the hills of Paran.His splendour covers the heavens;and the earth is full of his praise.
4. He comes with the brightness of lightning;light flashes from his hand,there where his power is hidden.
5. He sends disease before himand commands death to follow him.
