How I wish I could wrap thee in my eternal love
So no harm should come to thee
Forever as one in the eternal light.

My Nesumaawasir.

Hymn to Wasir

Homage to thee, O Osiris, the lord of eternity, the king of the gods, thou who hast many names, whose forms of coming into being are holy, whose attributes are hidden in the temples, whose Ka is most venerated. Thou art the Chief of Tettu (Busiris), the Great One who dwelleth in Sekhem (Letopolis), the lord to whom praises are offered in the nome of Athi, the Chief of the divine food in Annu (On), and the lord who is commemorated in the Hall of two-fold Right and Truth. Thou art the Hidden Soul, the lord of Qereret (Elephantine), the holy one in the city of the White Wall (Memphis), the Soul of Ra, and thou art of his own body. Offerings and oblations are made to thy satisfaction in Sutenhenen (Herakleopolis), praise in abundance is bestowed upon thee in Nart, and they Soul hath been exalted as lord of the Great House in Khemennu (Hermopolis). Thou art he who is greatly feared in Shas-hetep, the lord of eternity, the Chief of Abtu (Abydos), thy seat extendeth into the land of holiness (Underworld), and thy name is firmly established in the mouth of mankind. Thou art the substance of the two lands, thou art Tem, the divine food of the ka, thou art the chief of the company of the gods, thou art the operative and beneficent Spirit among the spirits, thou drawest thy waters from the abyss of heaven, thou bringeth along the north wind at eventide and air for thy nostrils to the satisfaction of thy heart. Thy heart germinateth, thou producest the light for divine food, the height of heaven and the starry gods obey thee, thou openest the great pylons of heaven, and thou art he unto whom praises are sung in the southern heaven, and to whom adorations are performed in the northern heaven. The stars which never set are under the seat of thy face, and the stars which never rest are thy habitations; and unto thee offerings are made according to the decree of the god Seb.

The company of the gods sing praises unto thee, and the starry gods of the Underworld bow down with their faces to the earth, the ends of the earth prostrate themselves before thee, and the bounds of heaven make supplication unto thee when they see thee. Those who are among the holy ones are in awe of thee, and the two lands in their length and breadth ascribe praises unto thee when they meet thy majesty, O thou glorious master, thou lord of masters, who art endowed with divine rank and dignity, who art stablished in thy rule, thou beautiful Sekhem of the company of the gods, who art pleasant of face, and art beloved by him that looketh upon thee. Thou puttest thy fear in all the lands, and by reason of love for thee all proclaim thy name as being above that of every name. All mankind make offerings unto thee, O thou lord who art commemorated in heaven and in earth, and who art greatly praised in the Uak festival, and the two lands with one consent cry out unto thee with cries of joy, O thou great one, thou chief of thy divine brethren, thou prince of the company of the gods, thou establisher of Maat throughout the two lands, who placest thy son upon the great throne of his father Seb, the darling of his mother Nut.

O thou great one of two-fold strength, thou has cast down Seba, thou hast slain thine enemy, and thou hast set thy fear in thy foe. Thou bringest together remote boundaries, thou art firm of heart, thy two feet are lifted up, thou art the heir of Seb and of the sovereignty of the two lands, who hath seen thy power and hath given command for thee to lead the two lands by thy hand until the end of time. Thou hast made the earth in thy hand, and its waters, and its air, and its green herb, and all its cattle, and all its birds, and all its fishes, and all its reptiles, and its four-footed beasts. The desert is thine by right, O son of Nut, and the two lands are content to make him to rise up upon the throne of his father like Ra. Thou risest in the horizon, thou givest light through the darkness, thou makest light to spread abroad from thy plumes, and thou floodest with light the two lands like the Disk at the beginning of sunrise. Thy crown pierceth heaven, thou art a brother of the starry gods, and the guide of every god, and thou dost work by decree and word, O thou favoured one of the company of the gods, who art greatly beloved by the Lesser Company of the gods.

Thy sister protected thee, and she drove away thy foes, and she warded off from thee evil hap, and uttered the words of power with all the skill of her mouth; her tongue was trained, and she committed no fault of utterance, and she made her decree and words to have effect, Isis, the mighty one, the avenger of her brother. She sought thee without weariness, she went round about through this land in sorrow, and she set not to the ground her foot until she had found thee. She made light with her feathers, she made air to come into being with her wings, and she uttered cries of lamentation at the bier of her brother.  She stirred up from his state of inactivity him whose heart was still, she drew from him his seed, she made an heir, she suckled the babe in solitariness, and the place wherein she reared him is unknown, and his hand is mighty within the house of Seb. The company of the gods rejoice and are glad at the coming of Horus, the son of Osiris, who heart is stablished, and whose word taketh effect, the son of Isis and the heir of Osiris. The assessors of Maat gather together unto him, and with them are assembled the company of the gods, and Neb-er-tcher himself, and the lords of Maat.  Verily those who repulse faults rejoice in the house of Seb to bestow the rank upon its lord, to whom is by right all sovereignty. The voice of Horus hath found the power of maat. The rank of his father hath been given unto him, and he hath come forth crowned by the command of Seb. he hath received the sceptre of the two lands, and the White Crown is stablished upon his head. He judgeth the earth according to his plans, and heaven and earth are open before his face. He layeth his commands upon men, and spirits, and upon the pat and hen-memet beings, and Egypt, and the Ha-nebu, and all the region wherein the Disk revolveth are under his plans, as well as the north wind, and the river flood, and the celestial waters, and the staff of life, and every flower. He is Nepra, and he giveth his green herbs; he is the lord of tchefau food, he leadeth on abundance, and he giveth it unto all lands.

There is joy everywhere, hearts are glad, hearts are glad, every face is happy, and every one adoreth his beauties. His love is doubly sweet unto us, and his active beneficence embraceth all hearts, and the love for him is great in every body, and they do what is right for the son of Isis. His enemy hath fallen before his wrath, and he that worketh evil hath fallen at the sound of his voice; when the son of Isis, the avenger of his father, the son of Isis, cometh against him, he shooteth forth his anger in his season. Holy and beneficent is his name, and the awe of him abideth in its place.   His laws are stablished everywhere, the path is cleared, the roads are opened, and the two lands are content; wickedness departeth, evil goeth away, the earth is at peace under its lord, and Maat is stablished by its lord, and setteth its back against antiquity. The heart of Un-nefer, the son of Isis, is glad, for he hath received the White Crown, and the rank of his father is his by right in the house of Seb; he is Ra when he speaketh the Thoth when he writeth.  The assessors are content; let what hath been decreed for thee by thy father Seb be performed according to his word.

May Osiris, Governor of Amentet, lord of Abydos, give a royal offering! may he give sepulchral meals of oxen, and fowl, and bandages, and incense, and wax, and gifts of all kinds, and the power to make transformations, and mastery over the Nile, and to appear as a living soul, and to see the Disk daily, and entrance into and exit from Re-stau; may my soul not be repulsed in the Underworld, may it be among the favoured ones before Un-nefer, may it receive cakes and appear before the altar of the Great God, and snuff the sweet breath of the north wind.
