Songs of Joy

[Verse] When we came back to Zion Like a dream it all did seem Laughter in our voices Songs of joy in our stream [Verse 2] Nations saw our glory The great things He has done Blessings in the morning Joy for everyone [Chorus] Oh Lord restore our fortunes Like streams in desert lands Tears that sow in sorrow Reap joy from your hands [Bridge] Tears can turn to laughter Seeds can grow to bloom Joy will come hereafter Lift us from the gloom [Verse 3] We weep while we are sowing With seeds to spread around Joy will soon be flowing Harvest will be found [Chorus] Oh Lord restore our fortunes Like streams in desert lands Tears that sow in sorrow Reap joy from your hands
