3 That God hath done great things for us, We speak with [glad and] thankful mouth:
4 Fully restore thy Captives, Lord, As streams refresh the [scorched] South.
5 They that do sow in mournful tears, Their [watered] seed's not cast away; But they a multiplied crop Shall [shortly] reap with endless joy.
5 They that do sow in mournful tears, Their [water'd] seed's not cast away; But they a multiplyed crop Shall [shortly] reap with endless joy.
6 He that in tears doth now go forth, And cast his [precious] seed on earth; With great increase in plenteous sheaves Shall come again with [endless] mirth.
