When God Revealed His Gracious Name
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When GOD revealed His gracious name,
and changed my mournful state,
my rapture seemed a pleasing dream,
the grace appeared so great.
2 The world beheld the glorious change,
and did Thy hand confess;
my tongue broke out in unknown strains,
and sung surprising grace.
3 "Great is the work," my neighbors cried,
and owned Thy pow'r divine;
"Great is the work," my heart replied,
"and be the glory Thine."
4 The LORD can clear the darkest skies,
can give us day for night,
make drops of sacred sorrow rise
to rivers of delight.
5 Let those that sow in sadness wait
till the fair harvest come,
they shall confess their sheaves are great,
and shout the blessings home.
6 Though seed lie buried long in dust,
it shan't deceive their hope;
the precious grain can ne'er be lost,
for grace insures the crop. Topics: Supplication Used With Tune: AZMON

When God Restored Our Common Life (Psalm 126)
When God restor'd our captive state
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics:
When God restored our captive state,
Joy was our song, and grace our theme;
The grace beyond our hopes so great
That joy appeared a painted dream.
The scoffer owns thy hand, and pays
Unwilling honors to thy name;
While we with pleasure shout thy praise,
With cheerful notes thy love proclaim.
When we review our dismal fears,
'Twas hard to think they'd vanish so;
With God we left our flowing tears,
He makes our joys like rivers flow.
The man that in his furrowed field
His scattered seed with sadness leaves,
Will shout to see the harvest yield
A welcome load of joyful sheaves.

When God First Brought Us Back
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Scripture: Psalm 126 First Line: When God first brought us back from exile Lyrics: 1 When God first brought us back from exile,
we were as dazed as those who dream.
Then were our mouths brimming with laughter;
joy from our lips gushed like a stream.
The godless cried in envious wonder,
“Look what the Lord has done for them!”
Indeed our God has greatly blessed us;
rejoice and sing, Jerusalem!
2 Once more, O Lord, restore your people;
come with your saving help again,
as to the brook beds in the desert
you bring the sweet, reviving rain.
Let those who sow with tears and sighing
sing as they reap and joy proclaim:
may those who weep when seed is scattered
gather their sheaves and praise your name.

When Sion's God her Sons recall'd
Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When Sion's God her Sons recall'd
from long Captivity,
It seem'd at first a pleasing Dream
of what we wish'd to see:
2 But soon, in unaccustom'd Mirth,
we did our Voice employ,
And sung our great Creator's Praise
in thankful Hymns of Joy.
Our Heathen Foes repining stood,
yet were compell'd to own,
That great and wond'rous was the Work
our God for us had done.
3 'Twas great, say then, 'twas wond'rous great,
much more should we confess;
The Lord has done great Things, whereof
we reap the glad Success.
4 To us bring back the Remnant, Lord,
of Isr'el's captive Bands,
More welcome than refreshing Show'rs
to parch'd and thirsty Lands.
5 That we, whose Work commenc'd in Tears,
may see our Labours thrive,
'Till finish'd with Success, to make
our drooping Hearts revive.
6 Tho' he desponds that sows his Grain,
yet doubtless he shall come
To bind his full-ear'd Sheaves, and bring
the joyful Harvest home.
When Sion's God her Sons recall'd
When in his might the Lord
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When in his might the Lord
Arose to set us free,
And Zion was restored
From her captivity,
In transports then of joy and mirth
We praised the Lord of all the earth.
2 The nations saw with fear
The might of God displayed,
When he at last drew near
To give his people aid;
Great things for us the Lord has wrought,
And gladness to our hearts has brought.
3 Again refresh us, Lord,
With thy reviving love,
And be thy blessing poured
In mercy from above;
By grace revive our hearts again,
As streams refreshed by copious rain.
4 Although with bitter tears
The sower bears his seed,
When harvest time appears
He shall be glad indeed;
For they that in the sowing weep
Shall yet in joy and gladness reap.

When God Delivered Israel (Psalm 126)
Author: Michael A. Saward Meter: 7.6.7.7.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Psalm 126 First Line: When God delivered Israel Lyrics: 1 When God delivered Israel
from bondage long ago,
they thought that they were dreaming,
but soon they turned to laughing
and sang the song of joy,
and sang the song of joy.
2 The godless nations round them
could not deny that power;
they cried, "O see this marvel!"
"God's work," replied the people,
and so they sang for joy,
and so they sang for joy.
3 O God, restore our nation;
come, irrigate dry souls,
that those who sow in sadness
may reap their sheaves with gladness
and sing the song of joy,
and sing the song of joy.
