light of the world

HAIL to you, Amani-Ra, Lord of the thrones of the earth, the oldest existence, ancient of heaven, support of all things;
Chief of the deities, lord of truth; father of the deities, maker of men and beasts and herbs; maker of all things above and below;
Deliverer of the sufferer and oppressed, judging the poor;
Lord of wisdom, lord of mercy; most loving, opener of every eye, source of joy, in whose goodness the deities rejoice, you whose name is hidden.
You are the one, maker of all that is, the one; the only one; maker of deities and men; giving food to all.
Hail to you, you one with many heads; sleepless when all others sleep, adoration to you.
Hail to you from all creatures from every land, from the height of heaven, from the depth of the sea.
The spirits you have made extol you, saying, welcome to you, father of the fathers of the deities; we worship thy spirit which is in us.
