Book of Psalms
PSALM CXXVI.
George Burgess
When from the heathen lands
The Lord his own redeemed,
It seem'd to Sion's wond'ring bands
As if a dream we dream'd.
Then joy to laughter rose,
And mirthful echoes rang,
While, rescued from the captive's woes,
Our song of peace we sang.
Then e'en the heathen cried,
\"Great deeds their Lord hath done!\"
\"Great deeds,\" our joyful hearts replied,
\"His triumph have begun.\"
Oh, still thine own restore,
As, from the mountains fed,
O'er Southern plains the torrents pour,
Each to its ancient bed.
The harvest dawn is near,
The year delays not long;
And he who sows with many a tear
Shall reap with many a song.
Sad to his toil he goes,
His seed with weeping leaves;
But he shall come, at twilight's close,
And bring his golden sheaves.
