Plain text of Book 19, Hymn 2
Burst be the streams from hills of snow, sweet be spring waters unto thee, sweet be swift-running waters, sweet to thee be water of the rains.
2 Sweet unto thee be waters of the waste and waters of the pool, sweet be the waters dug from earth, to thee, and waters brought in jars.
3 To those who delve without a tool to dig, the wise, the deeply moved, to waters, better healers than physicians, we address our prayer to God, who made them a healing.
4 Bathed in the waters, verily divine gifts of God, in water of the streams, bathed in the waters verily, O horses, be ye fleet and strong.
5 Blest be the waters unto thee, auspicious waters, bringing health. They cure the injured place for thee even as thy comfort craveth it.
