The Third Sunday in Lent.
Habakkuk 3.2-11
Domine
audivi
O LORD, I
have heard thy speech, and was afraid: * O LORD, revive thy
work in the midst of the years,
In the midst
of the years make known; * in wrath remember mercy.
God came from
Teman, * and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.
His glory
covered the heavens, * and the earth was full of his praise.
And his brightness
was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: * and
there was the hiding of his power.
Before him
went the pestilence, * and burning coals went forth at his feet.
He stood, and
measured the earth: * he beheld, and drove asunder the nations;
And the
everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: * his
ways are everlasting.
I saw the
tents of Cushan in affliction: * and the curtains of the land
of Midian did tremble.
Was the LORD
displeased against the rivers? * was thine anger against the
rivers?
Was thy wrath against the sea, * that thou
didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
Thy bow was
made quite naked, * according to the oaths of the
tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with
rivers. * The mountains saw thee, and they trembled:
The
overflowing of the water passed by: * the deep uttered his voice, and lifted
up his hands on high.
The sun and moon
stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, * and at
the shining of thy glittering spear.
Glory be to
the Father and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in
the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
The
Collect.
WE beseech thee, Almighty God,
look upon the hearty desires of thy humble servants, and stretch forth the
right hand of thy Majesty, to be our defence against all our enemies; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
{The Collect from the First Day of
Lent is to be read every day in Lent after the Collect appointed for the Day.}
The
Collect.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who
hatest nothing that thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all them that
are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily
lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the
God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
