When Zion's bondage God turned back

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Lyrics: 1 When Zion’s bondage God turned back, as men that dreamed were we. 2 Then filled with laughter was our mouth, our tongue with melody. They ‘mong the heathen said, The Lord great things for them hath wrought. 3 The Lord hath done great things for us, whence joy to us is brought. 4 As streams of water in the south, our bondage, Lord, recall. 5 Who sow in tears, a reaping time of joy enjoy they shall. 6 The man who, bearing precious seed, in going forth doth mourn, he doubtless, bringing back his sheaves, rejoicing shall return. Scripture: Psalm 126 Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)
