When
the Lord restored Zion's captives, then we were like those who dream.
Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues with shouts of joy.
And they said among the nations, the Lord's done great things for them.
Yes, the Lord's done great things for us.
And so we now rejoice.
Restored, restored, restored, the captives of Zion.
Restored, restored, restored, and so we now rejoice.
O Lord, restore our captives like streams restored in the south.
And may those who sowed in tears now reap with joyful shouts.
For the one who goes forth weeping as he bears his seed to sow, shall return with
shouts of joy as he brings his sheaves back home.
Restored, restored, restored, the captives of Zion.
Restored, restored, restored, and so we now rejoice.
Restored, restored, restored, the captives of Zion.
Restored, restored, restored, and so we now rejoice.
