By Babel's Streams We Sat and Wept

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #301 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Imprecatory Psalms 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.
