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

Thanks 2. You got those sheaves?!
Well penned Orchi, when I first saw the title I thought KP had left you and Fido. 🤔
Thanks AP, and for 'favourites' of this and others of my poems.
Yes lol, could be the title - the tears will be tears of joy too! heehee.
If you don’t stop pulling at my heart strings, I’ll be swimming in a river of tears 😇 beautiful!
Thanks GS. I was only attempting to sing it - I didn't know my singing would reduce you to tears. lol.

This singing by you (Orchi) has got to stop! says Fido. heehee.

Thanks N. Yep, 'tis another hymn-poem.
What can be more joyful, than praising in song? So good dear Orchi!
Thanks Bella. Ooohh, nothing better, as long it's not me singing it! (an 'in-joke' on here. lol).
A good pair of earplugs could fix that, then you can sing as loud and as joyfully as you want. lol back at 'ya dear friend.
