With Joyful Lips Lyrics

Chorus

What marvels (2),

the Lord has done wonders for us!

Verse 1

When Lord brought Zion's captives home,

We were like people dreaming.

Then our mouths were filled with laughter,

On our lips were songs of joy!

Verse 2

Then it was said by the pagans themselves:

"God for them wrought marvels"!

O What marvels indeed God wrought for us

And how overjoyed we were!

Verse 3

From our bondage deliver us, Lord,

Like the streams in the desert,

Those who sow in tears and sorrow

Will reap with songs of joy!

Verse 4

They go out, they go out, full of tears

Carrying seed for the sowing,

They come back, they come back full of songs

As they bring home their sheaves.
