A Hymn of Praise to Ra When He Riseth in the Eastern Part of Heaven.
Behold Osiris, Ani the scribe of the holy offerings of all the gods, who saith:
  Homage to thee, O thou who hast come as Khepera, Khepera the creator of the gods. Thou risest, thou shinest, thou makest light in thy mother the goddess Nut; thou art crowned king of the gods. Thy mother Nut doeth an act of homage unto thee with both her hands. The land of Manu perceiveth thee with satisfaction, and the goddess Maat embraceth thee both at morn and at eve. May he (Ra) give glory, and power, and triumph, and a coming forth as a living soul to see Heru-khuti (Horus) to the double (ka) of Osiris, the scribe Ani, victorious before Osiris, who saith - Hail, all ye gods of the Temple of the Soul, who weigh heaven and earth in the balance, and who provide sepulchral meals in abundance. Hail, Tatunen, thou One, thou Creator of mankind and Maker of the substance of the gods of the south and the north, of the west and of the east. O come and acclaim ye Ra, the lord of heaven, the Prince of Life, Health, Strength, the Creator of the gods, and adore ye him in his beautiful form at his rising in the Atet boat. They who dwell in the heights and they who dwell in the depths worship thee. The god Thoth and the goddess Maat have written down thy course for thee daily and every day. Thine enemy the serpent hath been given over to the fire, the serpent-fiend Sebau hath fallen down headlong; his arms have been bound in chains, and his legs hath Ra hacked off from him. The children of impotent revolt shall never more rise up. The Temple of the Aged One keepeth festival, and the voice of those who rejoice is in the mighty dwelling. The gods exult when they see Ra as he riseth, and when his beams flood the world with light. The Majesty of the holy god goeth forth and advanceth even unto the land of Manu; he maketh brilliant the earth at his birth each day: he journeyed on to the place where he was yesterday. O be thou at peace with me, and let me behold thy beauties; may I journey forth upon earth, may I smite the Ass, may I crush the serpent-fiend Sebau, may I destroy Apep in his hour; may I see the Abtu fish in his season, and the Ant fish piloting the Ant boat boat in its lake. May I see Horus acting as steersman, with the god Thoth and the goddess Maat, one on each side of him; may I grasp the bows of the Seklel boat, and the stern of the Atet boat. May Ra grant unto the double of Osirus Ani to behold the disk of the Sun and see the Moon-god without ceasing, each and every day; and may my soul come forth and walk hither and thither and whithersoever it pleaseth. May my name be proclaimed, and may it be found upon the board of the table of offerings; may offerings be made unto me in my presence, even as they are made unto the followers of Horus; may there be made ready for me a seat in the boat of the Sun on the day when the god goeth forth; and may I be recieved into the presence of Osiris in the land of victory.
