By Thy Dark, Deceptive Flow,
Sighing, Moaning River,
Captives Sing Their Songs Of Woe,
Songs Of Woe Forever.

From Thy Bondage I Am Free,
O Destroying River;
I Shall Weep No More By Thee,
Weep No More Forever.

Songs Of Zion Ne’er Shall We
Sing By Thee, O River;
Praise Be Heard No More In Thee,
Heard No More Forever.

Golden Days Are Past With Thee,
Days Are Dark, O River;
Harps Untuned Shall Silent Be,
Silent Be Forever.

Weeping Stands The Willow Tree
On Thy Shore, O River;
‘Neath Its Shade My Walk Shall Be
Nevermore Forever.
