Rivers of Babylon

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

'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Then required of us a song
How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Then required of us a song
Now, how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord

And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord
