"Ascension
Psalm 126 - 1887 Psalter"
These Psalms are in reference to the video -
"Urgent: From the Lord: Sing the Ascension
Psalms" from neartochrist2.
ASCENSION PSALM 126 c.m.
1. When Zion's bondage God turned back,
As men that dreamed were we.
Then filled with laughter was our mouth,
Our tongue with melody.
2. The heathen people said, "The Lord
Great things for them hath wrought."
The Lord hath done great things for us,
Whence joy to us is brought.
3. As streams of water in the south,
Our bondage, Lord, recall.
Who sow in tears, a reaping time
Of joy enjoy they shall.
4. That man who, bearing precious seed,
In going forth doth mourn,
He, doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
Rejoicing shall return.
ASCENSION PSALM 126 l.m.
1. 'Twas like a dream, when by the Lord
From bondage Zion was restored.
Our mouths were filled with mirth, our tongues
Were ever singing joyful songs.
2. The heathen owned what God had wrought -
Great works, which joy to us have brought.
As southern streams, when filled with rain,
Lord, turn our captive state again.
3. Who sow in tears, with joy shall reap.
Though bearing precious seed they weep
While going forth, yet shall they sing
When coming back their sheaves they bring.
