1. We have rivers of milk and wine
And of honey and of pure water

2. In our rivers are pebbles that shine
And pearls amid precious stones

3. Our sacred temple within it is soul
And body, and like with like

4. We sprinkle on it gentle water
To give it life and warmth serene

5. We wash it in sea water until
Its shadows depart for a time

6. And make its body a gentle soul
So they blend in the hidden abode

7. That is our excellent remedy, it heals
With its potion the lurking disease
