MODERN HYMNS AND POETRY
FOR SOBEK
Praises to Sobek by Quintus Poppaeus Sabinus Praise be to Sobek! Sobek the mighty! Sobek the invincible! Sobek the unconquered! Sobek rules in splendor in the midst of his terrors! Sobek rests in the green of marsh and river. Sobek hides quietly behind the reeds and lotus flowers. Sobek sees all, but he is not seen until he reveals himself. Sobek sees you, and reveals himself in his splendor! Sobek leaps upon you and enfolds you in his fierceness! Sobek guards the Gods! Sobek defeats the adversaries! Sobek survives and triumphs! Sobek grants victory in the struggle! Sobek wraps you in his power! Hail Sobek! Sobek moves silently in the green and makes it grow and flourish. Sobek gives sight to those who wander in the Underworld. Sobek wears the solar disk and the double feathered crown. Sobek sits in the carnelian temple on the mountain of the horizon. Hail Sobek! Devotion to Sobek by Daniel M. Sokopichonsis. Soukhos. Suchos. Sebak. Sbk. Sobek! Mighty. Sobek! Guardian. Sobek! As I spend my days you lurk, Sobek! Though I do not see you, I can feel your awesome prescence, Sobek! Such terror you inspire within me, Sobek! I thank you, Sobek! I laugh and grin at any fear that comes my way for I know, Sobek! None can compare to you, Sobek! I charge forward against my fears, Sobek! Knowing you grin your crocodile smile behind me, Sobek! |
