A song of Freedom
Language: English after the Latin
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion,
Then were we like to those who dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
and our tongues with joy.
Then said they among the heathen,
"The Lord has done great things for them."
Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already,
Whereof we rejoice.
Turn again our captivity, O Lord,
As the rivers in the South.
They that sow in tears,
Shall reap in joy!
He that goeth forth and weepeth,
Bearing precious seed,
Shall doubtless come again with joy,
and bring his sheaves with him.
