Ode 30
An invitation to the thirsty.
1Fill ye waters for yourselves from the living fountain of the Lord, for it is opened to you:
2And come all ye thirsty, and take the draught; and rest by the fountain of the Lord.
3For fair it is and pure and gives rest to the soul. Much more pleasant are its waters than honey;
4And the honeycomb of bees is not to be compared with it.
5For it flows forth from the lips of the Lord and from the heart of the Lord is its name.
6And it came infinitely and invisibly: and until it was set in the midst they did not know it:
7Blessed are they who have drunk therefrom and have found rest thereby. Hallelujah.
