Hymn to Osiris
Osirir Wennefer, the Gret God of Thinite nome
King of Eternity, Lord of Everlasting
First born son of Nut, begotten of Geb
Lord of the Wereret-crown, Sovereign of gods and men
He has taken the crook and the flail of his forefathers
May your heart be glad, for your son Horus
Whose firm on your throne, while you rile in Abydos
Two Lands flourish as free, because of you the Lord of all
Once greatly feared in his name of Osiris
He passes eternity in his name of Wennefer
Hail to you, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Ruler of Rulers
Who took possession of the Two Lands even in the womb of Nut
He rules plains of Silent Land, even he the golden of body
Blue of head, on whose arms is turquoise
O Pillar of Myriads, broad of breast
Kindly of countenance, who is in the Sacred Land
May you grant power in the sky
Might on earth and vindication in the realm of dead
A journeying downstream to Busiris
And a journeying upstream to Abydoss
To go in and out without hindrance
At all the gates of Netherworld
- Verses from “The Ancient Egyptian Book of The Dead”
