By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
But the wicked carried us away
In captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh verai
But the wicked carried us
Away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land
From the wicked carried us
Away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
But the wicked carried us away
In captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land
