Tears And Joy

Tune: Trentham

(\'Breathe on me, breath of God\')

Psalm 126

********

When the Lord turned again

Our captivity, then

We were like them that dream, yet we

By Him released, so be

 

And then was our mouth filled

With laughter, we were healed

And our tongue broke forth into song

Gave Him thanks all day long

 

Fo even the heathen

Did see God\'s good hand then

They said, The Lord has done great things

For His people, each sings

 

And so was our reply

The Lord has helped, He nigh

Has done great things for us and we

Are glad, and do them see

 

Turn our captivity

O Lord, that we be free

As streams that in the south do flow

So freedom we shall know

 

They that sow in tears shall

Reap in joy, shall do well

Shall bear precious seed, rejoicing

Return with sheaves singing
