[00:12.54]Written by：Cyrus H Wheelock/Thomas H. Bayly
[00:25.09]Ye elders of Israel come join now with me
[00:31.70]And seek out the righteous where'er they may be
[00:38.05]
[00:38.57]In desert on mountain on land or on sea
[00:44.72]
[00:45.37]And bring them to Zion the pure and the free
[00:51.66]
[00:52.28]O Babylon o Babylon we bid thee farewell
[00:58.34]
[00:58.87]We're going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell
[01:04.83]
[01:07.69]The harvest is great and the lab'rers are few
[01:13.47]
[01:14.15]But if we're united we all things can do
[01:20.02]
[01:20.90]We'll gather the wheat on the midst of the tares
[01:27.24]
[01:27.81]And bring them from bondage from sorrows and snares
[01:34.13]
[01:34.63]O Babylon o Babylon we bid thee farewell
[01:40.91]
[01:41.41]We're going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell
[01:47.40]
[01:53.50]We'll go to the poor like our captain of old
[01:59.66]
[02:00.20]And visit the weary the hungry and cold
[02:06.49]
[02:07.36]We'll cheer up their hearts with the news that he bore
[02:13.43]
[02:13.97]And point them to Zion and life evermore
[02:20.19]
[02:21.24]O Babylon o Babylon we bid thee farewell
[02:27.07]
[02:27.64]We're going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell
[02:33.88]
[02:34.66]O Babylon o Babylon we bid thee farewell
[02:40.54]
[02:41.30]We're going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell
