Litha Hymn to Amun-Ra and Hathor
Hail Amun-Ra, whose glory crowns the sky,
At summerβs height Your golden fires fly.
Lord of the Sun, whose splendor none withstand,
You bless with life the river and the land.
The fields stand green beneath Your shining face,
The world rejoices in Your radiant grace.
At Lithaβs turning, longest day of light,
Your power blazes forth in holy might.
Hail Hathor, Golden One of joy and song,
To whom all dance and celebration belong.
Mistress of Music, Lady of Delight,
You fill our hearts with laughter bright.
May abundance flow as freely as the Nile,
May love and beauty walk with us awhile.
Beneath the sun and underneath the stars,
Your blessings shine on all, both near and far.
Amun-Ra above, Hathor ever near,
Guard this seasonβs bounty through the year.
As light reaches its fullness in the sky,
May joy and life within us never die.
