When You Hear the Rivers’ Laughter

For in joy you shall go out 

And be led back in peace

All the trees of the field shall shout

They’ll clap their hands and never cease

When you hear the rivers' laughter

When you hear the woodlands' song

And you feel the mountains tremble

And the waters dance along

All the earth is no longer groaning 

But rings forth a joyous chord

Know the day of days is dawning

At the returning of the Lord

Then the mountains and the hills 

Before you shall burst into song, 

So now rejoice ye rocks and rills

And the mountain shall sing along

Bridge

Oh, that You would rend

The heavens and come down, 

And in your glory descend

As mountains tremble, quakes abound

Then the waters roar and foam

When you come back on that day

When you come to take us home

When you hear the rivers’ laughter

When you hear the woodlands’ song

And you feel the mountains tremble

And the waters dance along

All the earth’s no longer groaning 

But rings forth a joyous chord

Know the day of days is dawning

At the returning of the Lord
