Along the banks where Babel's current flows

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #137 (1789) Lyrics: 1 Along the banks where Babel's current flows, Our captive bands in deep despondence stray'd, While Zion's fall in sad remembrance rose, Her friends her children mingled with the dead. 2 The tuneless harp, that once with joy we strung, When praise employ'd and mirth inspir'd the lay, In mournful silence on the willows hung; And growing grief prolong'd the tedious day. 3 The barbarous tyrants, to increase the woe, With taunting smiles a song of Sion claim; Bid sacred praise in strains melodious flow, While they blaspheme the great Jehovah's name. 4 But how, in heathen chains and lands unknown, Shall Israel's sons, a song of Zion raise? O hapless Salem, God's terrestrial throne, Thou land of glory. sacred mount of praise! 5 If e'er my mem'ry lose thy lovely name, If my cold heart neglect my kindred race, Let dire destruction seize this guilty frame; My hand shall perish and my voice shall cease. 6 Yet shall the Lord, who hears when Zion calls, O'ertake her foes with terror and dismay, His arm avenge her desolated walls, And raise her children to eternal day.
