| Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land | |
| When the wicked | |
| Carried us away in captivity | |
| Requiering of us a song | |
| Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land | |
| Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart | |
| Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight | |
