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
