When as Jehovah did return

When as Jehovah did return

Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 When as Jehovah did return
Sions captivity
At that time unto them that dream,
Compared might we be.
2 Then was our mouth with laughter fill'd,
With singing fill'd our tongue.
The Lord hath done great things for them
They said th' heathen among.

3 The Lord hath done great things for us,
Whereof we joyful be.
4 O Lord, like as the southern streams
Turn our captivity.
5 Who sow in tears shall reap in joy:
6 Who going go and mourn,
Bearing choice feed, shall sure with joy
Bringing their sheaves return.
