You create the grain, you bring forth the barley, assuring perpetuity to the temples. if you cease your toil and your work, then all that exists is in anguish. to whom (or what) is this hymn most likely addressed?

This hymn is most likely addressed to the river Nile.

Explanation:

In the "Hymn for the Nile", the ancient Egyptian people sung about the importance of the river in their everyday lives. This tune that was created and sung by the ancient Egyptians gave obeisance to the river for the sustenance of their lives.

The lines "You create the grain, you bring forth the barley, Assuring perpetuity to the temples. If you cease your toil and your work, Then all that exists is in anguish" gives credit as well as asking for it's continued assistance. The personification of the river by the pronoun "you" gave it an entity that is living and powerful. "If you cease your toil" shows the efforts of the river to provide water for the place and not some bad disaster. Without the flood, "all that exists is in anguish", thereby bearing the image of some powerful being responsible for their survival.

Though the river floods regularly, it is this same flooding that enables the vegetation and livestock to sustain their lives. Even called as the 'gift of the Nile', Egypt has always relied on the Nile river. So, the floods that may seem like a misfortune for some people is in fact more of a blessing for the people living near it. The desert of the Sahara and it's surroundings owes their existence on the Nile river.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
