Offering to Khnum

4/25/23

Father of fathers, mother of mothers, the great who crafted the gods. Your love shines true as you create what you adore. You crafted the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the ground beneath our feet, the waters we drink. You are the perfect breeze, the sun on our skin, the food that we eat. O’ great creator, who makes millions, who loves what he does. You produce all good things.

Hymn to Khnum

To Khnum who sits at the potter's wheel, I offer my praise. O ancient self-created one who ruled at Elephantine, river-master, high of plumes, yours is the stone within the earth, the silt of the Nile, the flood that nourishes the field. Friend of the crafter, the builder, the miner, yours is the work of the artisan, O granter of resources, granter of skill, yours is the gift of a dextrous hand and an artist's eye. We are as you have made us, O Khnum, with your blessing of body and breath; our worth and our substance are within us, unique and innate. O shaper of humanity who molds us, one by one, from clay, each fashioned with art and with care; water-bearer, father of fathers, you of the rippling horn, for our lives and our existence we thank you.
