A New Moon Hymn for Min
"Adoring Min, praising Heru of the Upright Arm! Praise to You, Min, as You appear! You of tall plumes, son of Wesir, born of Aset. Great one in the Senut temple, mighty in Ipu, You of Qubt! Heru Lifting His Arm, Lord of worship Who makes power silent. King of the Gods, rich in perfume, coming from Medjay-land."
