Rivers Of Babylon

(album: Sing 20 Number One Hits - 1980)

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah we wept
When we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah we wept
When we remembered Zion

There the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

There the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

Let the words of our mouths
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah we wept
When we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah we wept
When we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah we wept
