THE BOOK OF THE DEAD Introductory Hymn to the Sun-God Re WORSHIP OF RE WHEN HE RISES IN THE EASTERN HORIZON of the sky BY N. HE SAYS: HAIL TO YOU, you having come as Khopri, even Khopri who is the creator of the gods. You rise and shine on the back of your mother (the sky), having appeared in glory as King of the gods. Your mother Nut shall use her arms on your behalf in making greeting. The Manu-mountain receives you in peace, Maet embraces you at all seasons. May you give power and might in vindication--and a coming forth as a living soul to see Harakhti--to the double of N. HE SAYS: O all you gods of the Soul-mansion who judge sky and earth in the balance, who give food and provisions; O Tatenen, Unique One, creator of mankind; O Southern, Northern, Western and Eastern Enneads, give praise to Re, Lord of the sky, the Sovereign who made the gods. Worship him in his goodly shape when he appears in the Day-bark. May those who are above worship you, may those who are below worship . . .
