When God Revealed His Gracious Name

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 202 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When GOD revealed His gracious name, and changed my mournful state, my rapture seemed a pleasing dream, the grace appeared so great. 2 The world beheld the glorious change, and did Thy hand confess; my tongue broke out in unknown strains, and sung surprising grace. 3 "Great is the work," my neighbors cried, and owned Thy pow'r divine; "Great is the work," my heart replied, "and be the glory Thine." 4 The LORD can clear the darkest skies, can give us day for night, make drops of sacred sorrow rise to rivers of delight. 5 Let those that sow in sadness wait till the fair harvest come, they shall confess their sheaves are great, and shout the blessings home. 6 Though seed lie buried long in dust, it shan't deceive their hope; the precious grain can ne'er be lost, for grace insures the crop.

Wenn der Herr einst die Gefangnen

Author: Samuel Gottlieb Bürde Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 Wenn der Herr einst die Gefangnen ihrer Bande ledig macht, o dann schwinden die vergangnen Leiden wie ein Traum der Nacht; dann wird unser Herz sich freun, unser Mund voll Lachens sein; jauchzend werden wir erheben den, der Freiheit uns gegeben. 2 Herr, erhebe deine Rechte, richt auf uns den Vaterblick; rufe die verstoßnen Knechte bald ins Vaterland zurück. Ach, der Pfad ist steil und weit, kürze unsre Prüfungszeit; führ uns, wenn wir treu gestritten, in des Friedens stille Hütten. 3 Ernten werden wir mit Freuden, was wir weinend ausgesät; jenseits reift die Frucht der Leiden und des Sieges Palme weht. Unser Gott auf seinem Thron, er, er selbst ist unser Lohn; die ihm lebten, die ihm starben, bringen jauchzend ihre Garben.

When Sion's God her Sons recall'd

Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When Sion's God her Sons recall'd from long Captivity, It seem'd at first a pleasing Dream of what we wish'd to see: 2 But soon, in unaccustom'd Mirth, we did our Voice employ, And sung our great Creator's Praise in thankful Hymns of Joy. Our Heathen Foes repining stood, yet were compell'd to own, That great and wond'rous was the Work our God for us had done. 3 'Twas great, say then, 'twas wond'rous great, much more should we confess; The Lord has done great Things, whereof we reap the glad Success. 4 To us bring back the Remnant, Lord, of Isr'el's captive Bands, More welcome than refreshing Show'rs to parch'd and thirsty Lands. 5 That we, whose Work commenc'd in Tears, may see our Labours thrive, 'Till finish'd with Success, to make our drooping Hearts revive. 6 Tho' he desponds that sows his Grain, yet doubtless he shall come To bind his full-ear'd Sheaves, and bring the joyful Harvest home.
