Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGHGIDJD FKLKMNMN MOPOQRQR| Fallen is thy Throne oh Israel | A |
| Silence is o'er thy plains | B |
| Thy dwellings all lie desolate | C |
| Thy children weep in chains | B |
| Where are the dews that fed thee | D |
| On Etham's barren shore | E |
| That fire from Heaven which led thee | D |
| Now lights thy path no more | E |
| - | |
| LORD thou didst love Jerusalem | F |
| Once she was all thy own | G |
| Her love thy fairest heritage | H |
| Her power thy glory's throne | G |
| Till evil came and blighted | I |
| Thy long loved olive tree | D |
| And Salem's shrines were lighted | J |
| For other gods than Thee | D |
| - | |
| Then sunk the star of Solyma | F |
| Then past her glory's day | K |
| Like heath that in the wilderness | L |
| The wild wind whirls away | K |
| Silent and waste her bowers | M |
| Where once the mighty trod | N |
| And sunk those guilty towers | M |
| While Baal reign'd as God | N |
| - | |
| Go said the LORD Ye Conquerors | M |
| Steep in her blood your swords | O |
| And raze to earth her battlements | P |
| For they are not the LORD'S | O |
| Till Zion's mournful daughter | Q |
| O'er kindred bones shall tread | R |
| And Hinnom's vale of slaughter | Q |
| Shall hide but half her dead | R |
