Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #52 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
By Babel's streams we sat and wept,
While Zion we thought on;
Amidst thereof we hung our harps,
The willow trees upon.
With all the power and skill I have,
I'll gently touch each string;
If I can reach the charming sound,
I'll tune my harp again.
