Day XXVII : Evening Prayer

126 - In convertendo

1   When the Lord overturned the captivity of Zion, 🞙
    then were we like those who dream.

2   Then was our mouth filled with laughter 🞙
    and our tongue with shouts of joy.

3   Then they said among the nations, 🞙
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”

4   Indeed, the Lord has done great things for us already, 🞙
    whereof we rejoice.

5   Overturn our captivity, O Lord, 🞙
    as when streams refresh the deserts of the south.

6   Those who sow in tears 🞙
    shall reap with songs of joy.

7   He who goes on his way weeping and bears good seed 🞙
    shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
