==Musical uses==
Modern Christian [[hymn]]s have been inspired by the words of the prophet Habakkuk:
*the Christian hymn "[[commons:Image:Lord is in his holy temple.ogg|The Lord is in His Holy Temple]]", written in 1900 by [[William J. Kirkpatrick]], is based on Habakkuk 2:20.{{sfnp|Wiegland|1992|p=685}}
*the fourth verse of [[William Cowper]]'s hymn "Sometimes a Light Surprises", written in 1779, quotes Habakkuk 3:17–18:

|text= Though vine nor fig-tree neither,<br/>Their wonted fruit shall bear,<br/>Though all the field should wither,<br/>Nor flocks nor herds be there;<br/>
Yet God the same abiding,<br/> His praise shall tune my voice,<br/> For, while in Him confiding,<br/> I cannot but rejoice.
|sign=William Cowper, 1779{{sfnp|Whelpton|1916|p=229; song 279}} }}

Irish composer [[Charles Villiers Stanford]] set slightly revised portions of text from the first and second chapters of Habakkuk in his choral composition for [[SATB|choir]], soprano and tenor soloist and organ, "For Lo, I Raise Up".
