Tune: Dominus Regit Me
(\'The King of love my Shepherd is\')
Psalm 126
********
When the LORD the captivity
Of Zion, His people, [did] free
We were like those who dream, for He
Did come to redeem us, see
Then was our mouth with laughter filled
His presence us restored, healed
And or tongue was filled with singing
Renewing of joy He did bring
Then heathen said, The LORD has done
Great things unto them, each one
Yes, the LORD has for us great things
Done, each soul joins, to Him sings
And we are glad, O LORD do turn
us again, we of you learn
As stream in the south may we flow
And in your gifts and graces grow
They that sow in tears, they in joy
Shall reap, their labours employ
They who go forth weeping, sowing
Seeds, harvest bring rejoicing
