Thanksgiving for Restoration

1261 When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion , We were like those who dream . 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter And our tongue with joyful shouting ; Then they said among the nations , "The Lord has done great things for them." 3 The Lord has done great things for us; We are glad .

4 Restore our captivity , O Lord , As the streams in the South . 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting . 6 He who goes to and fro weeping , carrying his bag of seed , Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy , bringing his sheaves with him.
