The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 126:4 Turn - As thou hast brought us home, bring also the rest of our brethren. As - As thou art pleased sometimes to send floods of water into dry and barren grounds, such as the southern parts of Canaan were.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible by John Wesley [1754-65] Bible Hub |
