Amon, whose body is hidden, (the eldest son of
Re). And Rise up Osiris! Re offers you his hands
and Ptah protects you. And Rise up Osiris, your
two sisters Isis and Nephtys prostrate themselves
before you. Rise up, the one whose mysteries are
hidden; who illuminates the Douat with the
light of his eyes. Rise up Orion, master of life!
Your son Horus gives you his scepter Djam. Rise
up child Khepri, the offspring of Nout and Re.
Rise up Thou rich in adornments! Temples con-
tain your hidden picture. Rise up eldest of el-
ders, the great, victorious Osiris! Maat is with
you; Isis is your protection. Rise up, god of many
forms! The earth has your image and your mum-
my, and the sky is filled with your divine soul-
star. Rise up, O Eternal One who surrounds the
earth … All beings are cradled in your arms.”
