lyrics

By Babylon’s great riverside we captive peoples sat and wept;
While over all our hearts the tide of Zion’s memories had swept.
On weeping willows, drooping low, our silent, joyless harps we hung;
Their strings were broken, tuned with woe, when with such awful grief they sung.

For there our captors asked for songs; tormenting us, they asked for praise;
Requiring songs that happy throngs on Zion had been known to raise.
But how can we, in foreign land, Jehovah’s songs be made to sing?
If I forget you, let this hand lose all its skill upon the string.

If I do not remember you, forget my songs, let language cease,
If I should place another joy above my care for Zion’s peace.

Remember Lord, how they laid bare our home upon that dreadful day;
Though wicked Edom now seems fair, her sons are doomed to pass away.
Remember Lord, the dreadful day of our land’s fall and bitter woe,
How happy he who shall repay the cruel hatred of her foe.

—from Lyrics from the Psalter, 1907 and The Psalter, 1912, alt. 2021
