By the Babylonian Rivers

Author: Ewald Bash Hymnal: In Every Corner Sing #63 (2008) Lyrics: 1 By the Babylonian rivers we sat down in grief and wept; hung our harps upon a willow, mourned for Zion while we slept. 2 There our captors, in derision, did require of us a song; so we sat with staring vision and the days were hard and long. 3 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange and bitter land; can our voices veil the sorrow? Lord God, hear your lonely band. Topics: Psalms and Canticles Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English Tune Title: [By the Babylonian rivers]
