Tears And Joy

Tune: Wiltshire

('Through all the changing scenes of life')

Psalm 126

*********

When the Lord our captivity

Did turn, then we were free

Were like those who did dream, for yet

He did us not forget

 

Then did we laugh and sing and prise

To Him our worship raise

Even the heathen they did see

The Lord's good works, so be

 

They too with us did say, The Lord

Kept His promise, His word

And for us He has done great things

We are glad, our tongue sings

 

Turn again our captivity

So as streams we shall be

That flow, and they that in tears sow

Shall joy in reaping know
