1. When the Lord brought the exiles back to Zion, we were like those moving in a dream.

2. Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues with songs of joy. Among the nations it was said, "The Lord has done great things for them."

3. The Lord had done great things for us, and we were glad indeed.

4. Bring back our exiles, O Lord, like fresh streams in the desert.

5. Those who sow in tears will reap with songs and shouts of joy.

6. They went forth weeping, bearing the seeds for sowing, they will come home with joyful shouts, bringing their harvested sheaves.





“O amor é a rainha das virtudes. Como as pérolas se ligam por um fio, assim as virtudes, pelo amor. Fogem as pérolas quando se rompe o fio. Assim também as virtudes se desfazem afastando-se o amor”. São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
