Let me be received in the presence of Osiris in the Land of Truth-speaking- the Ka of Osiris Ani.Ī Hymn of Praise of Osiris: A Hymn of Praise to Osiris Un-Nefer, the great god who dwelleth in Abtu, the king of eternity, the lord of everlastingness, who traverseth millions of years in his existence. Let there be prepared for me a seat in the Boat of the Sun on the day wheron the god saileth. Let meals from the sepulchral offerings be given to me in the presence, as to those who are in the following of Horus. Let my name be called out, let it be found inscribed on the tablet which recordeth the names of those who are to receive offerings. Let my Ba- soul come forth to walk about hither and thither and whithersoever it pleaseth. Let Ra grant to me a view of the Disk (the Sun), and a sight of Ah (the Moon) unfailingly each day. Let me lay hold of the tow-rope of the Sektet Boat, and the rope at the stern of the Matett Boat. Let me behold Horus when he is in charge of the rudder, with Thoth and the goddess Maat on each side of him. Let me behold the Abtu Fish at his season, and the Ant Fish with the Ant Boat as it piloteth it in its lake. Let me destroy Aepep at the moment of his greatest power. Let me slit asunder the Serpent-fiend Sebau. The majesty of this holy god setteth out on his journey, and he goeth onwards until he reacheth the land of Manu the earth becometh light at his birth each day he proceedeth until he reacheth the place where he was yesterday. The gods rejoice when they see Ra crowned upon his throne, and when his beams flood the world with light. The House of the Aged One keepeth festival, and the voices of those who make merry are in the Great Place. The Sons of Revolt shall never more rise up.

The Serpent- fiend Sebau hath fallen headlong, his forelegs are bound in chains, and his hind legs hath Ra carried away from him. Thine enemy the Serpent hath been given over to the fire.

Thoth and the goddess Maat mark out thy course for thee day by day and every day. Give ye thanks unto him in his beneficent form which is enthroned in the Atett Boat beings celestial praise thee, beings terrestial praise thee. Hail, Tatun, One, thou creator of mortals of the Companies of the Gods of the South and of the North, of the West and of the East, ascribe ye praise to Ra, the lord of heaven, the KING, Life, Strength, and Health, the maker of the gods. May Ra give glory, and power, and thruth-speaking, and the appearance as a living soul so that he may gaze upon Heru-khuti, to the KA of the Osiris the Scribe Ani, who speaketh truth before Osiris, and who saith: Hail, O all ye gods of the House of the Soul, who weigh heaven and earth in a balance, and who give celestial food. The goddess Maat embraceth thee at the two seasons of the day. The domain of Manu receiveth thee with satisfaction. mother Nut stretcheth out her hands, and performeth an act of homage to thee. A Hymn of Praise to Ra When He Riseth in the Eastern Part of Heaven: Behold, the Osiris Ani, the scribe of the holy offerings of all the gods, saith: Homage to thee, O thou who hast come as Khepera, Khepera the creator of the gods, Thou art seated on thy throne, thou risest up in the sky, illumining thy mother, thou art seated on thy throne as the king of the gods.
