Chapter 6  
  Hymn to Amen-Tomb of the architects Suti and Hor from the reign of Amenhotep III  
  ( 1391 BCE-1353 BCE)  
1.
Self-made you fashioned your body,
 
2.
Creator uncreated.
 
3.
Sole one, unique one, who traverses eternity.
 
4.
Remote one, with millions under his care ;
 
5.
Your splendor is like heaven's splendor,
 
6.
Your color brighter than its hues.
 
7.
When you cross the sky all faces see you,
 
8.
When you set you are hidden from their sight ;
 
9.
Daily you give yourself at dawn,
 
10.
Safe is your sailing under your majesty.
 
11.
In a brief day you race a course,
 
12.
Hundred thousands, millions of miles.
 
13.
A moment is each day to you,
 
14.
It has passed when you go down.
 
15.
You also completed the hours of night,
 
16.
You order it without pause in your labor.
 
17.
Through you do all eyes see,
 
18.
They lack aim when your majesty sets.
 
19.
When you stir to rise at dawn,
 
20.
Your brightness opens the eyes of the herds ;
 
21.
When you set in the western mountain,
 
22.
They sleep as in the state of death.
