Tears And Joy

Tune: Saffron Walden

(one tune to \'Just as  I am\')

Psalm 126 v.4-6

*********

Though you may sow in tears, you shall

Reap produce in joy, this know well

They that do go forth with hearts sad

Shall joy again, be glad

 

They that sow precious seed, weeping

A bounteous harvest shall they bring

They shall return, their fields to reap

With consolations deep

 

They shall bring their sheaves, and rejoice

Offer their praises with their voice

Turn again, Lord, our captive state

Come to our aid not late

 

Let it be as streams that do flow

From your provision, we shall know

Again refresh, water the land

So we see your good hand* (*Spirit)
