Christ, the fair glory
of the holy angels,
Thou Who hast made us,
Thou Who o’er us rulest,
Grant of Thy mercy
unto us Thy servants
Steps up to Heaven.
Send Thy archangel,
Michael, to our succor;
Peacemaker blessèd,
may he banish from us
Striving and hatred,
so that for the peaceful
All things may prosper.
Send Thy archangel,
Gabriel, the mighty;
Herald of Heaven,
may he from us mortals
Spurn the old serpent,
watching o’er the temples
Where Thou art worshipped.
Send thy archangel,
Raphael, the restorer
Of the misguided ways
of men who wander,
Who at Thy bidding
strengthens soul and body
With Thine anointing.
Father almighty,
Son and Holy Spirit,
God ever blessèd,
be Thou our Preserver;
Thine is the glory
which the angels worship,
Veiling their faces.
