1.
O Soul most mighty, here am I: I am come to thee that I may see thee
2.
I open the Tuat that I may see my father Osiris and may drive away the darkness
3.
I am he whom he loveth. I have come to see my father Osiris, to pierce the heart of Sutu, and to perform all duties to my father Osiris
4.
I open all the paths in heaven and upon earth
5.
I am the son who loveth his father, and I am come as a mummied one, glorious and well equipt
6.
Oh, all ye gods and goddesses, the path is made for me
