01 Rivers of Babylon Lyrics

By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down,
there we wept when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down,
there we wept when we remembered Zion.

Let the wicked carry us away in captivity, requiring of us a song,
How can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
Let the wicked carry us away in captivity, requiring of us a song,
How can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

Instrumental + steel drums

So, let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in Thy sight. Here tonight

So, let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in Thy sight. Here tonight

Repeat first verse twice
