1-3. It seemed like a dream, too good to be true,when God returned Zion’s exiles.We laughed, we sang,we couldn’t believe our good fortune.We were the talk of the nations—“God was wonderful to them!”God was wonderful to us;we are one happy people.
4-6. And now, God, do it again—bring rains to our drought-stricken livesSo those who planted their crops in despairwill shout hurrahs at the harvest,So those who went off with heavy heartswill come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.
