Lyrics

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion:
then were we like to them that dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with joy.
Then said they among the heathen:
The Lord hath done great things for them,
Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already:
whereof we rejoice!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning and is now, and ever shall be,
world without end, Amen.
