WHAT MARVELS
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.
