How can we sing our songs of faith

How can we sing our songs of faith
By water floods of Babylon
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 137 Lyrics: 1 By water floods of Babylon,
There when we sat us down;
We mourned bitterly when we
Dear Sion thought upon.
2 Our harp in midst of her we did
Hang willow trees among.
3 For there they us who captive led
Requir'd of us a song.
Who laid us waste, ask'd mirth, sing us
A Sion's song do ye.
4 How in a land of strangers sing
Jehovah's song shall we?
5 O thou Jerusalem, if I
Of thee forgetful be:
Then let my right hand quite forget
Her own dexterity.
6 If I thee mind not, let my tongue
Not from my palate move:
If I set not Jerufalem
My chiefest joy above.
7 Remind, Lord, Edom's sons, who on
Jerusalem her day,
Raze it to her foundation,
Raze it again, said they.
8 Thou Babel's daughter must be waste,
That man shall happy be,
Who like as thou us served hast,
So recompenseth thee.
9 Yea happy he shall surely be,
Who strongly up doth take
Thy little ones, and on the stones
Doth them in pieces break.

The rivers on of Babylon
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 137 Lyrics: 1 The rivers on of Babylon,
There when we fat us down,
Yea sadly then we mourned when
We Sion thought upon.
2 Our harps we did then hang amid
Upon the willow tree.
3 Because there they that us away
Led in captivity,
Requir'd of us a song, and thus
Ask'd mirth us waste who laid,
Sing us among a Sion's song,
Then unto us they said.
4 O how shall we whilst that we be
In stranger's land accord,
To sing a song that does belong
Unto our God the Lord.
5 If I of thee forgetful be,
O thou Jerusalem,
Let my right hand of her command
Be quite forgetful then.
6 Let cleave my tongue my palate on,
If mind thee do not I:
Or don't prefer Jerus'lem dear
Above my highest joy.
7 Remember, Lord, Edom's sons word;
Unto the ground, said they,
It raze, it raze, when as it was
Jerusalem her day.
8 Bless'd shall he be that payeth thee,
Daughter of Babylon,
Which must be waste, that which thou hast
Rewarded us upon.
9 Yea, happy he shall surely be
Who strongly up doth take
Thy little ones, and on the stones
Doth them in pieces brake.

There we sat down, and wept, by Streams
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 137 Lyrics: 1. There we sat down, and wept, by Streams,
Which glide by Babel's Walls;
While Sion's melancholly Themes,
Our mournful Mind recalls.
2. Our Harps, which us'd their Part to bear,
When Sion's Songs we sung,
On Willow-Trees, that flourish'd there,
As useless now we hung.
3. Stern Lords who did us Captive bring,
Insulted thus our Wrongs;
"Come, take your Harps, and chearful sing
"Us, one of Sion's Songs.
4. How can we, Lord, thy Songs repeat,
To Aliens, in strange Land?
5. If thee, Jerus'lem, I forget;
Her Skill may my Right-hand.
6. My Tongue cleave to my Roof; If I,
Of thee, forgetful prove;
Or ever entertain a Joy,
Jerusalem above.
7. Remember, Lord, how Edom's Sons,
In Salem's woful Day,
Cry'd, "Rase it, rase the lowest Stones,
"And with the Ground it lay.
8. O Daughter of proud Babylon!
Whom we are doom'd to see;
Happy's the Man, the Wrongs thou'st done
To us, returns on thee.
9. Bless'd Man! who, at the high Command,
Shall take thy little ones.
As thou did'st ours, in cruel Hands,
And dash against the Stones.
There we sat down, and wept, by Streams
Sing Songs of Jubilee
Author: Kate Ulmer Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 137:2 First Line: Ye people of the living God Refrain First Line: O let no harp be silent now Lyrics: 1 Ye people of the Living God,
Lift up your heads and sing;
To magnify his holy name
Let every glad harp ring.
Refrain:
O let no harp be silent now,
Sing songs of jubilee;
The captor’s pow’r is overcome,
Praise God, praise God, we’re free!
2 Why should his people mournful be?
Why should their songs be stilled?
We’re free! We’re free! O sing it o’er
Till every heart is thrilled! [Refrain]
3 Once sold for naught to serve as slaves,
Our precious birthright lost;
Our blest Redeemer ransomed us
At great and fearful cost. [Refrain]
4 Tho’ in the land of strangers now,
Surrounded by the foe,
Ere long with songs and shouts of joy
To Zion fair we’ll go. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Ye people of the living God]
