By the rivers of Babylon

Where we sat down

There we wept

When we remembered Zion.



By the rivers of Babylon

Where we sat down

There we wept

When we remembered Zion.



(So let the wicked) carried us away in captivity

Requiring from us a song

Now how can we sing the Lord's song

In a strange land.



(So let the wicked) carried us away in captivity

Requiring from us a song

Now how can we sing the Lord's song

In a strange land.



--- Instrumental & hum ---



Let the words of our mouth 

And the meditation of our heart 

Be acceptable in Thy sight 

Here tonight



Let the words of our mouth 

And the meditation of our heart 

Be acceptable in Thy sight 

Here tonight



By the rivers of Babylon

Where we sat down

There we wept

When we remembered Zion.



By the rivers of Babylon

Where we sat down

There we wept

When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon

Where we sat down

There we wept

When we remembered Zion.



By the rivers of Babylon

Where we sat down

There we wept

When we remembered Zion...
