Invocation of Isis

Come to thy Temple, come to thy Temple, O An! Come to thy Temple, for thine enemies are not! Come to thy Temple! Lo I, thy sister, love thee - do not thou depart from me! Behold Hunnu, the beautiful one! Come to thy Temple immediately - come to thy Temple immediately! Behold thou my heart which grieveth for thee; Behold me seeking for thee - I am searching for thee to behold thee! Lo, I am prevented from beholding thee - I am prevented from beholding thee, O An! It is blessed to behold thee - come to the one who loveth thee! Come to the one who loveth thee, O thou who art beautiful, Un-Nefer, dead. Come to thy sister - come to thy wife Come to thy wife, O thou who makest the heart to rest. I, thy sister, born of thy mother, go about to every temple of thine Yet thou comest not forth to me; Gods, and men before the face of the gods, are weeping For thee at the same time, when they behold me! Lo, I invoke thee with wailing that reacheth high as heaven - Yet thou hearest not my voice. Lo I, thy sister, I love thee More than all the Earth - And thou lovest not another as thou dost thy sister - Surely thou lovest not another as thou dost thy sister!

Remarks:

An is the moon god form of Osiris. 
Hunnu a sun god form of Osiris.
Un-Nefer a title of Osiris.
Osiris is so named because he is the dispenser of benefits, a form of the 
Absolute; one Egyptian dogma makes Osiris to be Hes-iri, which would seem 
to mean the "seat of Isis." (Iamblichus, "The Egyptian Mysteries").
