The Egyptian Book of the Dead
Chapter whereby the Soul is united to the dead Body.
89.1Oh thou who Bringest; Oh thou Runner, who dwellest in thy Keep, thou great god; grant that my Soul may come to me from whatsoever place wherein it abideth.
89.2But if there be a delay in the bringing of my soul to me, thou shalt find the Eye of Horus standing firm against thee, like those undrowsy Watchers who lie in Annu, the land wherein are thousands of reunions.
89.3Let my Soul be caught, and the Chu which is with it, wheresoever it abideth.
89.4Track out among the things in heaven and upon earth that soul of mine, wherever it abideth.
89.5But if there be a delay in thy causing me to see my Soul and my Shade, thou shalt find the Eye of Horus standing firm against thee.
89.6Oh ye gods who draw along the Bark of the Eternal one: ye who lift up above the Tuat, and who raise up the Sky: ye who enable the Souls to enter into the mummied forms; ye whose hands grasp the cordage, hold firm with your ropes and stop the adversaries that the Bark may rejoice and the god proceed in peace.
89.7And now grant that my Soul may come forth in your train from the Eastern horizon of Heaven for ever and ever.
