By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remembered Zion

Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song

How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?

Oh, 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 meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, verai!

So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, verai!

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down

And there he wept

When he remembered Zion

Oh, the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
