1. When that the Lord again his Zion had forth brought
From bondage great, and also servitude extreme,
His work was such as did surmount man's heart and thought,
So that we were much like to them, that used to dream:
Our mouths were all with laughter filled then,
Also our tongues did show us joyful men.

Wherefore to joy we have great cause, as we begun;

O Lord, go forth, thou canst our bondage end.

Metrical paraphrases by Isaac Watts

English.png English text

VERSION 1. (L. M.)
Surprising deliverance
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.

 


VERSION 2. (C. M.)
The joy of a remarkable conversion; or, Melancholy removed
When God revealed his gracious name,
And changed my mournful state,
My rapture seem'd a pleasing dream,
The grace appear'd so great.

The world beheld the glorious change,
And did thy hand confess;
My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
And sung surprising grace.

'Great is the work,' my neighbors cried,
And own'd thy power divine;
'Great is the work,' my heart replied,
And be the glory thine.'

 




The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
Can give us day for night,
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight.

Let those that sow in sadness wait
Till the fair harvest come:
They shall confess their sheaves are great,
And shout the blessings home.

Though seed lie buried long in dust,
It shan't deceive their hope:
The precious grain can ne'er be lost,
For grace ensures the crop.
