Refrain: 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.

By thy dark, deceptive flow,
Sighing, moaning river,
Captives sing their songs of woe,
Songs of woe forever.
- Refrain:
  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.
