21 A SONG OF HUMILITY Venite et revertamur
Refrain:	Raise us up, O God,* that we may live in your presence.
1	Come, let us return to the Lord* who has torn us and will heal us.
2	God has stricken us* and will bind up our wounds.
3	After two days, he will revive us,* and on the third day will raise us up,    that we may live in his presence.
4	Let us humble ourselves;* let us strive to know our God,
5	Whose justice dawns like the morning star;* its dawning is as sure as the sunrise.
6	God’s justice will come to us like the showers,* like the spring rains that water the earth.
7	‘O Ephraim, how shall I deal with you?* How shall I deal with you, O Jacob?
8	‘Your love for me is like the morning mist,* like the dew that goes early away.
9	‘Therefore, I have hewn them by the prophets,* and my judgement goes forth as the light.
10	‘For loyalty is my desire and not sacrifice,* and the knowledge of God    rather than burnt-offerings.’
	Glory . . . Hosea 6. 1-6
	Raise us up, O God,* that we may live in your presence.
