Rivers of Babylon - Daniel O'Donnell

(B. Dowe - F. McHaughton, adapted from Psalm 137: 1)

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...
