- And the Honeycomb of Bees
- 1 Draw water for yourselves from the living fountain of the Lord,
- because it has been opened for you.
- 2 And come, all you who are thirsty, and take a drink,
- and rest beside the fountain of the Lord,
- 3 because it is beautiful and bright and gives rest to the soul.
- 4 For much sweeter are its waters than honey,
- and the honeycomb of bees is not to be compared with it,
- 5 because it goes forth from the lips of the Lord,
- and from his heart; the Lord is his name.
- 6 And it came, boundless and unseen,
- and until it was set in the middle they did not know it.
- 7 Blessed are those who have drunk from it and have found rest by it.
- Hallelujah!
