Sacred Hymns to Amen


icon9   The 2nd of the Five Hymns to Amen (Leiden Papyrus)

190th Chapter
2The Unity of ALL (creation) combined is Your body.
3Every god joined in Your body,
4is Your image.
5You emerged first, You inaugurated from the start.
6Amen, whose name is hidden from the gods.
7Oldest elder, more distinguished than these,
8Heaven, who formed Himself by Himself as the Rock of Peter (Pharoah).
9The toes of His body are the Eight gods of the unmanifest void.
10He appeared as the Holy Spirit, from Heaven, so that He might bring life from death.
11He sneezed, as Amen, from His mouth and gave birth to
12Shu and Tefnut, combined in manifestation.
13He appears on His throne as His heart prompts.
14Who, through His power, rules for Himself all that is.
15Who binds together for Himself the kingship for ever,
16down to eternity, established as Sole Lord.
17Light was His coming into existence on the first occasion,
18with all that exists in stillness for awe of Him.
19His voice like trumpets, as the great sound of trumpets,
20coming into a land that He created for Himself, while He was Alone.
21He began speaking in the midst of silence,
22 opening every eye and causing them to look.
23He began crying out while the world was in stillness,
24His yell circulated while He had no second,
25so that He might give birth to what is and cause them to live,
26and cause every man to know the way to walk.
27Their hearts live when they see Him.
28His are the effective forms of the Unity of ALL (creation).
