When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
And the mouths were filled with laughter,
And the tongues with joyful shouting.

When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
And the mouths were filled with laughter,
And the tongues 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.

More than the watchmen wait for the morning
Our souls wait,
Our souls wait upon the Lord.
For with Him is love and kindness,
And abundant 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.
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 sow in tears
Will reap in joyful shouting.
Those who sow in tears
Will reap in joyful shouting.
Those who sow in tears
Will reap in joyful shouting.

So we will say among the nations
The Lord has done great things.
We will say among the nations
The Lord has done great things.
