When Zion's fortunes God restored
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #130 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Zion's fortunes God restored,
it was a dream come true.
Our mouths were then with laughter filled,
our tongues with songs anew.
2 The nations said, 'The LORD has done
great things for Israel.'
The Lord did mighty things for us,
and joy our hearts knew well.
3 Restore our fortunes, gracious Lord,
like streams in desert soil.
A joyful harvest will reward
the weeping sower's toil.
4 The man who, bearing seed to sow,
goes out with tears of grief,
will come again with songs of joy,
bearing his harvest sheaf. Topics: Creation Harvest; God Through the Years His Providence Scripture: Psalm 126 Languages: English Tune Title: CREDITON
