By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down.
and there he went.
When he remembered Zion.
Oh, from the wicked
carry us away, captivity.
Require from us a song.
How can we sing King Alpha's song
in a strange land.
So let the words of our mouth
and the meditations of our heart,
be acceptable in thy sight.
Over I.
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down.
and there he went.
When he remembered Zion.
Oh, from the wicked
carry us away, captivity.
Require from us a song.
How can we sing King Alpha's song
in a strange land.
How can we sing King Alpha's song
in a strange land.
