1. When the Lord brought home the exiles,
it all seemed like a dream.
We just could not stop laughing
and we sang through joyous tears.
The nations were astonished—
they could not believe their eyes.
The Lord restored our fortunes,
brought joy back to our lives.
Tears, tears, tears,
we went out with floods of tears.
Joy, joy, joy,
we returned with songs of joy.
2. O dear Lord, restore our blessing
like gushing streams in spring,
and turn our tears of sorrow
into tears of joy again.
We cried as we were leaving
and we wept in fields of toil;
but we’ll come back with singing;
we’ll harvest fields of joy.
Tears, tears, tears,
we went out with floods of tears.
Joy, joy, joy,
we returned with songs of joy.
