Lyrics (Ps 126:1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 6):

Response: The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

stained glass bulletWhen the LORD brought back the captives of Zion,
we were like men dreaming.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with rejoicing. Response

stained glass bulletThen they said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
The LORD has done great things for us;
we are glad indeed. Response

stained glass bulletRestore our fortunes, O LORD,
like the torrents in the southern desert.
Those that sow in tears
shall reap rejoicing. Response

stained glass bulletAlthough they go forth weeping,
carrying the seed to be sown,
They shall come back rejoicing,
carrying their sheaves. Response
