On opening a new place for worship
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137:5 First Line: And will the great eternal God Lyrics: 1 And will the great eternal God
On earth establish his abode?
And will he from his radiant throne
Avow our temples for his own?
2 We bring the tribute of our praise,
And sing that condescending grace,
Which to our notes will lend an ear,
And call us sinful mortals near.
3 Our Father's watchful care we bless,
Which guards our synagogues in peace,
That no tumultuous foes invade,
To fill our worshippers with dread.
4 These walls we to thy honor raise;
Long may they echo with thy praise;
And Thou descending fill the place
With choicest tokens of thy grace.
5 Here let the great Redeemer reign
With all the graces of his train;
While pow'r divine his word attends
To conquer foes, and chear his friends.
6 And in the great decisive day,
When God the nations shall survey,
May it before the world appear,
That crouds were born to glory here.

Remembrance of Church Priveleges
Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 First Line: By Babel's riverside we sat in tears Lyrics: 1 By Babel's riverside we sat in tears,
Rememb'ring Zion's pride in former years,
While on the weeping willows there were hung
The harps our grief had silenced and unstrung.
2 For they who led us there a captive throng
Required that we prepare for them a song;
Yea, there our captives asked for mirth and praise,
Required a song of Zion's happy days.
3 O how shall we thus sing at their command
Songs of the Lord, our King, in this strange land?
O Zion, if I e'er forget thy woe,
Let my right hand its skill no longer know.
4 Yea, let my tongue, i pray, all silent be,
If I do not alway remember thee;
If I prefer not thee, thought in thy grief,
Above all other joys my very chief.

By the Waters of Babylon
As by the streams of babylon
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 Lyrics: 1 As by the streams of babylon
We captives sat with anxious fears;
Then we dear Zion thought upon,
And melted into streams of tears.
2 Our harps, our instruments of joy,
Which us'd with chearful songs to sound,
We hung upon the willow trees
Which on the shaded banks abound.
3 Because our foes, who all conspir'd
To triumph in our slavish wrongs;
Musick and mirth of us requir'd;
'Come sing us one of Zion's songs.'
4 But, ah! how cou'd we guide our hands
To play, with hearts so full of woes
Sing Zion's songs in heathen lands,
JEHOVAH's hymns to chear his foes?
5 O dear Jerusalem! if I
Ever of thee forgetful grow;
Let me the skill of my right hand
For ever wholly cease to know.
6 Let my tongue to my palate cleave,
If thee remember should not I,
Or don't prefer Jerusalem,
Above my highest earthly joy,
7 LORD, Thou remembrest Edom's son,
Who on Jerulalem's sad day,
'To the foundation raze her! cry'd;
'Raze, raze her!' out aloud cry'd they.
8 O Babel's daughter! doom'd to fall!
That conqueror shall blessed be,
Who, just as thou hast done to us,
Will do in righteousness to thee!
9 Yea, he shall blessed be by heav'n,
Who shall by heav'n employed be,
Upon the stones to dash thy face,
And end thy cruel progeny.
As by the streams of babylon
Super flumina
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 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. Used With Tune: [When as we sat in Babylon]

Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night:
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
2 For her our prayer shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!
3 Not for this land alone,
But be God's mercies shown
From shore to shore;
And may the nations see
That men should brothers be,
And form one family
The wide world o'er.
