A song of high degrees. When God shall cause them of Sion that were led into captiuitie for to returne: we shalbe as men that dreamed.

Then shall our mouth be filled with a laughter: and our tongue with a ioyfull noyse. Then shall suche as be amongst the Heathen say: God hath brought great thinges to passe, that he myght do for them.

God hath brought great thinges to passe for vs: we be made merie.

Make vs O God that be led into captiuitie: for to returne as riuers into the south.

They that sowe in teares: shall reape in ioy.

He that goeth foorth on his way, and wepyng beareth pretious seede: shall doubtlesse returning, come againe with a ioyfull noyse, bryngyng his sheaues with hym.
