Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return

1
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)

And come with singing unto Zion!!

A few days ago this song came into my head while I was walking my dog, and it wouldn't stop. As I neared home, I thought of a friend's mother who was in hospice nearby.

She was such a strong Christian and told me about things she prayed for in a way that opened my eyes to many more opportunities for prayer. When I got home, I called her, She had been dozing for the last 3 days, not eating or drinking. My friend held the phone to her ear, and I sang it to her, and told her I would see her in Zion soon. She passed on to Jesus the next day. I'm so glad she heard this joyous song to help her on her way.

In my daily Scripture reading, I read Isaiah 51 today. When I reached vs 11, it struck the chord of a childhood memory. The words looked very familiar. Then the tune. Searched the net for the tune. Hymnal.net helped me. Thank you.

Two days ago, this precious lilting uplifting song was running through my spirit nearly incessantly. Thank our faithful God for His loving encouragement! The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever! Hallelujah!
