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
