Thou king of the angels,
Shield thy people...
Be with us in the pilgrimage
And in the twistings of the fight...
Be with us in the journey
and in the gleam of the river..
O Michael of the angels,
And the righteous in heaven,
Shield thou my soul
With the shade of thy wing;
Shield thou my soul
On earth and in heaven;
Protect and encircle
My soul neath thy wing,
Oh my soul with the shade of thy wing!
