Song - chorus ("By the Babylonian Rivers" by Ewald Bush; copyright 1964: Augsburg Fortress)
"By the Babylonian rivers / we sat down in grief and wept, /
hung our harps upon the willow / mourned for Zion when we slept. /
There our captors in derision / did require of us a song; /
so we sat with staring vision, / and the days were hard and long. /
How shall we sing the Lord's song / in a strange and bitter land; /
can our voices veil the sorrow? / Lord God, hold your holy band. /"
