A Hymn to Heru
(From the hieroglyphic text The Death of Heru)
"HERU is the savior who was brought to birth, as light in heaven and sustenance on earth. Heru in spirit, verily divine, who came to turn the water into wine. Heru who gave his life, and sowed the seed for men to make the bread of life indeed. Heru, the comforter, who did descend in human fashion as the heavenly friend. Heru, the word, the founder in youth, Heru, the fulfiller of the word made truth. Heru, the Lord and leader in the fight against the dark powers of the night. Heru, the sufferer with cross bowed down, who rose at Easter with his double crown. Heru the pioneer, who paved the way of resurrection to the eternal day. Heru triumphant with the battle done, Lord of two worlds, united and made one."
Heru says: "I am the hawk in the tabernacle, and I pierce through the veil."
