By Babel's Streams We Sat and Wept

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. By Babel’s streams we sat and wept, For memory still to Zion clung; The winds alone our harp-strings swept, That on the drooping willows hung. 2. There our rude captors, flushed with pride, A song required to mock our wrongs; Our spoilers called for mirth and cried, Come, sing us one of Zion’s songs. 3. Not songs but sighs to us belong When Zion’s walls in ruin lie; How shall we sing Jehovah’s song While in an alien land we die? 4. O Zion fair, God’s holy hill, Wherein our God delights to dwell, Let my right hand forget her skill If I forget to love thee well. 5. If I do not remember thee, Then let my tongue from utterance cease, If any earthly joy to me Be dear as Zion’s joy and peace. 6. Remember, Lord, the dreadful day Of Zion’s cruel overthrow; How happy he who shall repay The bitter hatred of her foe.

Jehovah Hear Thee in Thy Grief

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jehovah hear thee in thy grief, our fathers' God defend thee still, send from His holy place relief, and strengthen thee from Zion's hill. 2 Thy sacrifice may He regard, and all thine off'rings bear in mind; thy heart's desire to thee accord, fulfilling all thou hast designed. 3 In thy salvation we rejoice, and in God's name our banners raise; Jehovah hearken to thy voice, fulfill thy prayers through all thy days. 4 Salvation will the LORD command, and His anointed will defend; yea, with the strength of His right hand from heav'n He will an answer send. 5 How vain their every confidence who on mere human help rely; but we remember for defense the name of God, the LORD Most High. 6 Now we arise and upright stand, while they, subdued and helpless fall; Jehovah, save us by Thy hand, the King give answer when we call.
