When Zion in Her Low Estate

Representative Text

1 When Zion in her low estate
Was brought from bondage by the Lord,
In ecstasy we sang for joy,
By grace and wondrous love restored.

2 The Lord, in greatly blessing us,
Before the world His power displays;
Yea, great things God has done for us,
And filled our hearts with joy and praise.

3 O Lord, refresh us by Thy grace,
Revive and quicken all our powers,
As failing streams are made to flow,
Replenished by abundant showers.

4 The sower, bearing precious seed,
May weep as in his toil he grieves,
But he shall come again with joy
In harvest time with golden sheaves.
