We were like men who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with laughter,
Our tongues with songs of joy,
And it was said among the nations
that the Lord has done great things
Yes, it was said among the nations
He has done great things for us
And we are filled, we are filled with joy
O Lord, restore our fortunes
Like streams in the Negev that flow
For he who sows with tears
will reap with songs of joy
And he who goes out weeping
as he carries seed to sow
Will return with harvest songs of joy
We were like men who dreamed
Our mouths are filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy
And it was said among the nations,
that the Lord has done great things
Yes, it was said among the nations,
He has done great things for us
And we are filled, we are filled with joy
For, we score our fortunes
Like streams in the Meg of the Flood
For he who sows with tears
Will reap with songs of joy
And he who goes admitting
As he carries seed to sow
Will return with harvest songs of joy you
