When the Lord brought back captives of zion We are like those who dream And the mouths were filled with laughter And the towns with joy of shouting When the Lord brought back captives of zion We are like those who dream And the mouths were filled with laughter And the towns with joyful shouting We will say among the nations The Lord has done great things We will say among the nations The Lord has done great things The Lord and the watchmen in the morning Our souls wait Our souls wait upon the Lord With Him, His love and kindess And abundent redemption We will say among the nations The Lord has done great things We will say among the nations The Lord has done great things Those who sew in tears Will reap in joyfull shouting
