Hymn 1

Hynn to the Sun (Akhenaton)

from the online program Hymns of God, Cosmos, Humanity

 

You appear beautifully on the horizon of heaven,
You living Aton, the beginning of life!
When you have risen on the eastern horizon,
You have filled every land with your beauty.
You are gracious, great, glistening, and high over every land;
Your rays encompass the lands to the limit of all that you have created:
Though You are far away, your rays are on earth;
Though you are in their faces, no one knows your ways.
When you set in the western horizon,
The land is in darkness, in the manner of death.
They sleep in a room, with heads wrapped up,
Nor sees one eye the other.
At daybreak, when you arise on the horizon,
When you shine as the Aton by day,
Their arms are raised in praise at Your appearance.
All the world, they do their work.
How effective they are, Your plans, O lord of Eternity!
For you have set a Nile in heaven,
that it may descend for them and make waves upon the mountains,
like the great green sea, to water their fields in their towns.
Rising in Your form as the living Aton,
Appearing, shining, withdrawing or approaching,
You made millions of forms of yourself alone.
Cities, towns, fields, road, and river –
every eye beholds You over them,
For You are the Aton of the day over the earth….
