Come, let us return to our God, *who has torn us and will heal us.

God has struck us and will bind up our wounds, *after two days revive us,

On the third day restore us, *that in God’s presence we may live.

Let us humble ourselves, let us strive to know the Lord, *whose justice dawns like morning light, its dawning as sure as the sunrise.

God’s justice will come to us like a shower, *like spring rains that water the earth.
