By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
But how can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our God
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
But how can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our God
