1. By the Babylonian rivers
we sat down in grief and wept,
hung our harps up on 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 songs of Zion
in a strange and bitter land?
Can our voices veil the sorrow?
O God, hear your lonely band.
4. Let your cross be benediction
for all bound in tyranny;
by the power of resurrection
loose them from captivity.
Composer: Latvian melody
Arranger: Greg Scheer
Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!
Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
