HYMN TO OSIRIS AND A LEGEND OF THE ORIGIN OF HORUS.“Homage to thee, Osiris, Lord of eternity, King of the gods […]. Thou are a shining Noble at the head of the nobles, permanent in [thy] high rank, stablished in [thy] sovereignty, the beneficent Power of the Company of the Gods. Well-pleasing [is thy] face, and thou are beloved by him that sees thee. Thou set the fear of thee in all lands, and because of their love for thee [men] hold thy name to be pre-eminent. Every man makes offerings unto thee, and thou are the Lord who is commemorated in Heaven and upon Earth. Manifold are the cries of acclamation to thee in the Uak festival, and the Two Lands shout joyously to thee with one accord. Thou are the eldest, the first of thy brethren, the Prince of the Company of the Gods, and the stablisher of Truth throughout the Two Lands. […] Thou are the bringer in of the remotest boundaries, and are stable of heart, and thy two feet are lifted up; thou are the heir of Keb and of the sovereignty of the Two Lands, and he (that is Keb) has seen thy splendid qualities, and has commanded thee to guide the lands (that is the world) by thy hand so long as times [and seasons] endure. Thou has made this Earth with thy hand, the waters thereof, the winds thereof, the trees and herbs thereof, the cattle thereof of every kind, the birds thereof of every kind, the fish thereof of every kind, the creeping things thereof, and the four-footed beasts thereof. The land of the desert belongs by right to the son of Nut, and the Two Lands have contentment in making him to rise upon the throne of his father like Ra. Thou roll up into the horizon, thou set the light above the darkness, thou illumines [the Two Lands] with the light from thy two plumes, thou flood the Two Lands like the Disk at the beginning of the dawn. […]The Tchatcha of Truth, and the Company of the Gods, and Neb-er-tcher himself [Lord of the Uttermost Limit], and the Lords of Truth, gather together to him, and assemble therein. Verily those who defeat iniquity rejoice in the House of Keb to bestow the divine rank and dignity upon him to whom it belongs, and the sovereignty upon him whose it is by right. […]”
