Orr Hymnal: Timeless Truths #633 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: By thy dark, deceptive flow Refrain First Line: From thy bondage I am free Lyrics: 1 By thy dark, deceptive flow, Sighing, moaning river, Captives sing their songs of woe, Songs of woe forever.

[Refrain] 3 Golden days are past with thee, Days are dark, O river; Harps untuned shall silent be, Silent be forever. [Refrain] 4 Weeping stands the willow tree On thy shore, O river; ’Neath its shade my walk shall be Nevermore forever.
