Psalm 126

When the Divine Lover enters the 
		human heart,
	all yearnings are fulfilled!
Then will our mouths ring forth 
		with laughter,
	and our tongues with shouts of joy;

Then will we sing our songs of praise 
	to You, O Beloved of all hearts.
For gladness will radiate out for 
		all to see;
	so great is your Presence 
		among us.

Restore us to wholeness, O Healer,
	like newborn babes who have 
		never strayed from You!
May all who sow in tears
	reap with shouts of joy!
May all who go forth weeping tears 
		of repentance, bearing 
		seeds of Love,
Come home to You with shouts 
		of joy,
	leaving sorrow behind.
