Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return,

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, And come with singing unto Zion; And everlasting joy shall be upon their head. Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, And come with singing unto Zion; And everlasting joy shall be upon their head.

They shall obtain gladness and joy; And sorrow and mourning shall flee away. (Repeat the first three lines)
