Hymn of Khnum

"I am Khnum, your Maker! My arms are around you to steady your body, To safeguard your limbs. I bestow upon you precious stones upon precious stones That were not found before, Of which no work was made, For building temples, rebuilding ruins, inlaying statues' eyes.

For I am the Master Who Makes, I am he who made himself, Fashioner of everybody, Guide of each man in his hour.

I shall make Hapi hug the fields for you, No year of lack and want anywhere, Plants will grow weighed down by their fruit, With Renenutet ordering all, things supplied in millions! Gone will be the hunger years, Egypt's people will come forth singing, Shores will shine in the excellent flood, Hearts will be happier than every before!"
