Sacred Hymns to Amen


icon7   Prayer of Nebre/Nebro

1Praisegiving to Amen !
2I make hymns in his name.
3I give to him praise: to the height of heaven,
4and the breadth of the earth.
5I tell his might to him who sails down-stream,
6and to him who sails up-stream.
7Beware of him !
8Repeat it to son and daughter, to great and small.
9Herald him to the generations not yet born.
10Herald him to the fishes in the deep,
11and to the birds in the sky.
12Repeat it to him who knows it not,
13and to him who knows.
14Beware of him !
15You are Amen, the Lord of the silent.
16Who comes at the cry of the poor.
17When I call to you in my distress,
18You come to rescue me.
19Give breath to him who is wretched.
20Rescue me from bondage.
21You are Amen, Lord of Thebes,
22Who rescues him who is in Hell ;
23For you are he who is merciful,
24When one appeals to you.
25You are he who comes from afar.
