By the Rivers of Babylon (Psalm 137) - Marty Haugen (马蒂·豪根)
By the rivers of Babylon
We sat down and wept
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
By the rivers of Babylon
We sat down and wept
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
And there we hang our harps upon the willow trees
As our captors left and called for joyful songs
For us there is no music in this foreign land
The song of God no longer ours to sing
By the rivers of Babylon
We sat down and wept
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
By the rivers of Babylon
We sat down and wept
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
If ever I forget you oh Jerusalem
Let this hand wants raise and praise to you go live
Oh let my voice be silence
If my heart no longer yearns for you
Above our earthly joy
By the rivers of Babylon
We sat down and wept
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
By the rivers of Babylon
We sat down and wept
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
Remember Lord the ones who broke us brought us home
Lord remember those who raped and crashed our home
How happy they shall be who get today then back
The ones who dashed your future on the stones
By the rivers of Babylon
By the rivers of Babylon
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
As we remembered Zion
We sat down and wept
As we remembered Zion
Our home so far away
Our home so far away
Our home so far away
