When the Lord brought back the captives of Zion We were like those who dream Then our mouth was filled with laughter and singing He has done great things For the Lord has done great things We are glad, we are glad Yes the Lord has done great things Hallelujah Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy Those who weep shall sow the seed They shall come again with shouts of joy Bringing in the sheaves For the Lord has done great things We are glad, we are glad Yes the Lord has done great things Hallelujah When the Lord brought back the captives of Zion We were like those who dream Then our mouth was filled with laughter and singing He has done great things Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy Those who weep shall sow the seed They shall come again with shouts of joy Bringing in the sheaves For the Lord has done great things We are glad, we are glad Yes the Lord has done great things Hallelujah For the Lord has done great things We are glad, we are glad Yes the Lord has done great things Hallelujah
