Psalter number 357. Rescue from Spiritual Bondage - Psalm 126

 

1. When Zion in her low estate

Was brought from bondage by the Lord,

In ecstasy we sang for joy,

By grace and wondrous love restored.

 

2. The Lord in greatly blessing us

Before the world His power displays;

Yea, great things God has done for us,

And filled our hearts with joy and praise.

 

3. O Lord, refresh us by Thy grace,

Revive and quicken all our powers,

As failing streams are made to flow,

Replenished by abundant showers.

 

4. The sower bearing precious seed

May weep as in his toil he grieves,

But he shall come again with joy

In harvest time with golden sheaves.
