Tune: St Bees
('Hark my soul, it is the Lord')
Psalm 126
********
When the Lord did turn again
The captivity, e'en then
We of Zion were like they
Who seemed in a dream that day
Then was our mouth, laughed di we
And our tongue it sang freely
The heathen they said, The Lord
Has done great things, true His word
Yes, the Lord great things has done
For us, we can compare none
To His acts, and we are glad
Gone now mourning, no more sad
Turn our captivity, Lord
As streams in south land assured
They that sow in tears shall reap
In joy, then no longer weep
They that go forth with weeping
Bearing precious seed shall bring
Their sheaves with them in reaping
Joyful to the Lord shall sing

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.7.7.7. Possibly the people have been freed from one captivity (verses 1 to 3) and may now be in another one (verses 4 and 5) in the layout of this Psalm.
