By the Babylonian Rivers

Author: Ewald Bash Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Psalms and Canticles Lyrics: 1 By the Babylonian rivers we sat down in grief and wept; hung our harps upon a willow, mourned for Zion while we slept. 2 There our captors, in derision, did require of us a song; so we sat with staring vision and the days were hard and long. 3 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange and bitter land; can our voices veil the sorrow? Lord God, hear your lonely band. Scripture: Psalm 137 Used With Tune: [By the Babylonian rivers]

Have mercy upon me, O God

Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Psalms and Canticles Lyrics: 1 Have mercy upon me, O God: according to Thy lovingkindness. 2 According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies: blot out my transgressions. 3 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity: and cleanse me from my sin. 4 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 5 Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned: and done this evil in Thy sight. 6 That Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest: and be clear when Thou judgest. 7 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me. 8 Behold Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 9 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 10 Make me to hear joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 11 Hide Thy face from my sins: and blot out all mine iniquities. 12 Create in me a clean heart O God: and renew a right spirit within me. 13 Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. 14 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation: and uphold me with Thy free Spirit. `5 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. 16 O Lord, open Thou my lips: and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. 17 For Thou desirest not sacrifice else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offerings. 18 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart O God, Thou wilt not despite. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end Amen.
