R (5) Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.
When the Lord brought back the captives of Zion,
we were like men dreaming.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with rejoicing. R
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad indeed. R
Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like the torrents in the southern desert.
Those that sow in tears
shall reap rejoicing. R
Although they go forth weeping,
carrying the seed to be sown,
They shall come back rejoicing,
carrying their sheaves. R
Alleluia, alleluia. I chose you from the world,/ to go and bear fruit that will last, says the Lord. Alleluia, alleluia.
- You will drink my chalice. l
