#jeremiah #lamentations [Verse 1] How doth the city sit solitary, A widow in the place where crowds had been? She weepeth sore in the night, her tears are on her cheeks, And no lover comes to comfort her again. A voice was heard in Ramah, bitter weeping, Rachel refused to be comforted, her children gone, Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Was there ever any sorrow like my own? [Pre-Chorus] I remember the bitter suffering, But this I recall, therefore have I hope: His compassions fail not, they are new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness, therefore will I hope. [Chorus] I will turn your mourning into joy, And make you rejoice from your sorrow, I have loved you with an everlasting love, And there is hope in your tomorrow. Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, Your soul shall be a watered garden through the years: I will turn your mourning into joy. [Verse 2] The Lord's scroll was read aloud before the king, He sat beside the fire but would not hear a thing. He cut the scroll with a knife, and leaf by leaf it burned, Jeremiah spoke it all again, and more words returned. The princes hated every word and cast him down with cords, He sank into the mire below and waited on the Lord, But the Ethiopian would not let him die, He let down rags and cords, and they drew him up alive. [Pre-Chorus 2] I called upon Thy name, O Lord, out of the pit, Thou drewest near the day I called on Thee, Thou heardest my voice, and Thou saidst unto me, Fear not, Thou hast pleaded my cause, Thou hast redeemed me. [Chorus] I will turn your mourning into joy, And make you rejoice from your sorrow, I have loved you with an everlasting love, And there is hope in your tomorrow. Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, Your soul shall be a watered garden through the years: I will turn your mourning into joy. [Bridge] Behold, the days come, says the Lord, I will make a new covenant, I will not turn away, I will put My law in your inward parts, And write it in your hearts, and give you one heart and one way. I will forgive your iniquity, And I will remember your sin no more, I will cause the Branch of righteousness to grow, And He shall be called your Lord of Righteousness, forevermore. [Final Chorus] Turn my mourning into joy, And make me rejoice from my sorrow, You have loved me with an everlasting love, Give me hope for my tomorrow. Refrain my voice from weeping and my eyes from tears, Make my soul a watered garden through the years: Turn my mourning into joy. [Outro] With the Bridegroom at our side, He has turned our mourning into joy. © 2026 Come Follow Hymn Project. All rights reserved. Inspired by Scripture. Written by Soul. Performed by AI.
