I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

Author: Timothy Dwight Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,316 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137:5 Lyrics: 1 I love thy kingdom, Lord, the house of thine abode, the church our blest Redeemer saved with his own precious blood. 2 I love thy church, O God; her walls before thee stand, dear as the apple of thine eye, and graven on thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall, for her my prayers ascend; to her my cares and toils be given, till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, her sweet communion, solemn vows, her hymns of love and praise. 5 Sure as thy truth shall last, to Zion shall be given the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heaven.

When we, our weary'd Limbs to rest

Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 Lyrics: 1 When we, our weary'd Limbs to rest, Sat down by proud Euphrates Stream, We wept, with doleful Thoughts opprest, And Sion was our mournful Theme. 2 Our Harps, that when with Joy we sung Were wont their tuneful Parts to bear, With silent Strings neglected hung On Willow-tress that wither'd there. 3 Mean while our Foes, who all conspir'd To triumph in our slavish Wrongs, Musick and Mirth of us requir'd, "Come, sing us one of Sion's Songs." 4 How shall we tun our Voice to sing? Or touch our Harps with skilful Hands? Shall Hymns of Joy to God our King Be sung by Slaves in foreign lands? 5 O Salem, our once happy Seat! When I of thee forgetful prove, Let then my trembling Hand forget The speaking Strings with Art to move! 6 If I to mention thee forbear, Eternal Silence seize my tongue; Or if I sing one chearful Air, 'Till thy Deliv'rance is my Song! 7 Remember, Lord, how Edom's Race, In thy own city's fatal Day, Cry'd out, "Her stately Wills deface, "And with the Ground quite level lay." 8 Proud Babel's Daughter, doom'd to be Of Grief and Woe the wretched Prey, Bless'd is the Man, who shall to thee The Wrongs thou laid'st on us, repay. 9 Thrice bless'd, who with just Rage possest, And deaf to all the Parents Moans, Shall snatch thy Infants from the Breast, And dash their Heads against the Stones.

The Babylonian Captivity

Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 First Line: Along the banks where Babel's current flows Lyrics: 1 Along the banks where Babel's current flows, Our captive bands in deep despondence stray'd, While Zion's fall in sad remembrance rose, Her friends, her children, mingled with the dead. 2 The tuneless harp, that once with joy we strung, When praise employ'd and mirth inspir'd the lay, In mournful silence on the willows hung; And growing grief prolong'd the tedious day. 3 The barbarous tyrants, to increase the woe, With taunting smiles a song of Zion claim; Bid sacred praise in strains melodious flow, While they blaspheme the great Jehovah's name. 4 But how, in heathen chains and lands unknown, Shall Israel's sons, a song of Zion raise? O hapless Salem, GOD's terrestrial throne, Thou land of glory sacred mount of praise. 5 If e'er my memory lose thy lovely name, If my cold heart neglect my kindred race, Let dire destruction sieze this guilty frame; My hand shall perish and my voice shall cease. 6 Yet shall the Lord, who hears when Zion calls, O'ertake her foes with terror and dismay, His arm avenge her desolated walls, And raise her children to eternal day.

Psalm 137: By Babel's streams we sat and wept

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 First Line: By Babel's streams we sat and wept Lyrics: 1By Babel’s streams we sat and wept, when Sion we thought on. 2In midst thereof we hang’d our harps the willow-trees upon. 3For there a song required they, who did us captive bring: Our spoilers call’d for mirth, and said, A song of Sion sing. 4O how the Lord’s song shall we sing within a foreign land? 5If thee, Jerus’lem, I forget, skill part from my right hand. 6My tongue to my mouth’s roof let cleave, if I do thee forget, Jerusalem, and thee above my chief joy do not set. 7Remember Edom’s children, Lord, who in Jerus’lems day, Ev’n unto its foundation, Raze, raze it quite, did say. 8O daughter thou of Babylon, near to destruction; Bless’d shall he be that thee rewards, as thou to us hast done. 9Yea, happy surely shall he be thy tender little ones Who shall lay hold upon, and them shall dash against the stones.

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Author: Peter Abelard; J. M. Neale Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137:1 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, those endless Sabbaths the blessèd ones see! Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest: God shall be all, and in all ever blest. 2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore: "Vision of peace" that brings joy evermore! Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er, nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 3 We, where no troubles distraction can bring, safely the anthems of Zion shall sing; while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blessèd people evermore raise. 4 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh, seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 5 Low before him with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all: of whom, the Father, and through whom, the Son, in whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
