A Psalmist's Thanksgiving:
From the PC(USA) Revised Common Lectionary
Psalm 126:1-6
1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we rejoiced.
4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb.
5 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.

Thanks for posting Ps. 126. As you seem to imply, it is the basis for George Minor's gospel song, "Bringing in the Sheaves." (And today is the 164th anniversary of Minor's birth.) If you enjoy reading about the history of our traditional hymns and gospel songs and their authors, I invite you to check out my daily blog, Wordwise Hymns.
