Akhenaten 1-12. (the great hymn to the Aten)

O Ra!

Splendid you rise in heaven's lightland,

O living Aten, creator of life!

When you have dawned in eastern lightland,

You fill every land with beauty.

You are beauteous, great, radiant,

High over every land;

Your rays embrace the lands,

To the limit of all that you made.

Being Ra, you reach their limits,

You bend them for the son whom you love;

Though you are far, your rays are on earth,

Though one sees you, your strides are unseen.
