Khonsu, Light of Night
Most Powerful
Son of Ammon-Ra
And Mother Mut
Khonsu the Terrifying
Who lives on hearts
Consumer of Gods
Who helps the Pharaoh absorb Their power
Khonsu the Wanderer
Guide of Night
Who rides the crescent moon
Across the sky
Khonsu the Animator
Who causes cattle to conceive
Women to be made fertile
And all lungs to be filled with fresh breath
Khonsu the Healer
Gentle God
Bane of disease
Who drives out demons
Khonsu Pa-ir-sekher
He Who Provides
He brings forth the rains
That nourishes the seeds
The Bull of Night
The God of Life
Khonsu
Great and terrifying
Gentle and sweet
All these things and more, You are
And I praise all Your faces,
Baboon-headed, Falcon-faced
Mummy with the sidelock of youth
Khonsu, accept this humble offering of words
And I will sing for You another song.
