Hymn to Isis

Hymn to Isis from Her temple at Philae (the first hymn):

Praise to you Isis-Hathor,
God's Mother, Lady of Heaven,


Lady of Abaton, Queen of the Gods.

You are the Divine Mother of Horus,
The Mighty Bull, avenger of His father,
Who causes the rebels to fall.

Praise to You Isis-Hathor,
God's Mother, Lady of Heaven,
Lady of Abaton, Queen of the Gods.

You are the Divine Mother of Horus,
Min-Horus, the Hero Who smites His enemy,
And makes a massacre thereby.

Praise to You Isis-Hathor,
God's Mother, Lady of Heaven,
Lady of Abaton, Queen of the Gods.

You are the Divine Mother of Horus,
Khonsu-the-powerful, the Royal Child of the Lord of Eternity,
Lord of Kush (Nubia), Ruler of the foreign lands.

Praise to You Isis-Hathor,
God's Mother, Lady of Heaven,
Lady of Abaton, Queen of the Gods.

You are the Divine Mother of Horus,
The Mighty Bull, Who establishes the Temples of the Ennead,
And fashions every Divine Image

Praise to You Isis-Hathor,
God's Mother, Lady of Heaven,
Lady of Abaton, Queen of the Gods.

You are the Divine Mother of Horus,
The Mighty Bull who protects Egypt,
Lord of the Nome, for ever.

Praise to You Isis-Hathor,
God's Mother, Lady of Heaven,
Lady of Abaton, Queen of the Gods.
