Psalm 126
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 202 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 First Line: When God revealed his gracious name Lyrics:
When God revealed his gracious name,
And changed my mournful state,
My rapture seemed a pleasing dream,
The grace appeared so great.
The world beheld the glorious change,
And did thy hand confess;
My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
And sung surprising grace.
"Great is the work," my neighbors cried,
And owned the power divine;
"Great is the work," my heart replied,
"And be the glory thine."
The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
Can give us day for night;
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight.
Let those that sow in sadness wait
Till the fair harvest come,
They shall confess their sheaves are great,
And shout the blessings home.
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.

Psalm 126
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 First Line: When God restored our captive state Lyrics:
When God restored our captive state,
Joy was our song, and grace our theme;
The grace beyond our hopes so great
That joy appeared a painted dream.
The scoffer owns thy hand, and pays
Unwilling honors to thy name;
While we with pleasure shout thy praise,
With cheerful notes thy love proclaim.
When we review our dismal fears,
'Twas hard to think they'd vanish so;
With God we left our flowing tears,
He makes our joys like rivers flow.
The man that in his furrowed field
His scattered seed with sadness leaves,
Will shout to see the harvest yield
A welcome load of joyful sheaves.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 First Line: When Sion's bondage God turn'd back Lyrics:
1When Sion’s bondage God turn’d back,
as men that dream’d were we.
2Then fill’d with laughter was our mouth,
our tongue with melody:
They ‘mong the heathen said, The Lord
great things for them hath wrought.
3The Lord hath done great things for us,
whence joy to us is brought.
4As streams of water in the south,
our bondage, Lord, recall.
5Who sow in tears, a reaping time
of joy enjoy they shall.
6That man who, bearing precious seed,
in going forth doth mourn,
He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
rejoicing shall return.

for they that in the sowing weep
shall yet in joy and gladness reap.

To doubt and fear give thou no heed,

In verdure, beauty, strength,
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
And the full corn at length.

Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky.

The day of God shall come,
Then angel reapers shall descend,
And heaven sing Harvest home. Topics: The Christian Life Honor and Influence; Sow thy Seed
