Author: W. W. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #81a (1640) First Line: When as we sat in Babylon Lyrics: 1 When as we sat in Babylon,
the rivers round about:
And in remembrance of Sion
the teares for griefe burst out:
2 We hang'd our harps and instruments,
the willow trees upon:
For in that place men for their use
had planted many one.
3 Then they to whom we prisoners were
said to us tauntingly:
Now let us heare your Hebrew songs,
and pleasant melody.
4 Alas said we, who can once frame
his sorrowfull heart to sing
The praises of our loving God
thus under a strange King?
5 But yet if I Jerusalem
out of my heart let slide:
Then let my fingers quite forget
the warbling harp to guide.
6 And let my tongue within my mouth
be ti'd for ever fast:
If that I joy before I see
thy full deliverance past.
7 Therefore (O Lord) remember now
the cursed noise and cry
That Edoms sonnes against us made,
when they raz'd our city.
Remember Lord their cruell words,
when as with one accord
They cry'd, On sack and raze their wals,
in despight of the Lord.
8 Even so shalt thou O Babylon,
at length to dust be brought:
And happy shall that man be cal'd,
that our revenge hath wrought.
9 Yea blessed shall that man be cal'd,
that takes thy children young:
To dash their bones against hard stones,
that lie the streets among. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English Tune Title: [When as we sat in Babylon]

Once More, O Lord, Thy Sign
Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5228 First Line: Once more, O Lord, Thy sign shall be Lyrics: 1. Once more, O Lord, Thy sign shall be
Upon the heav’ns displayed,
And earth and its inhabitants
Be terribly afraid:
For not, in weakness clad, Thou com’st,
Our woes, our sins to bear,
But girt with all Thy Father’s might,
His judgment to declare.
2. The terrors of that awful day
O who can understand?
Or who abide, when Thou in wrath
Shall lift Thy holy hand?
The earth shall quake, the sea shall roar,
The sun in heav’n grow pale;
But Thou hast sworn, and wilt not change,
Thy faithful shall not fail.
3. Then grant us, Savior, so to pass
Our time in trembling here,
That when upon the clouds of Heav’n
Thy glory shall appear,
Uplifting high our joyful heads,
In triumph we may rise,
And enter, with Thine angel train,
Thy palace in the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: NORWICH
