NOVENA HYMN & PRAYERS TO SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
†
HYMN
I
Thee, O Christ the Father’s Splendor
Life and Virtue of the heart,
In the presence of the angels
Sing we now with tuneful art;
Meetly in alternate chorus
Bearing our responsive part.
II
Thus we praise with veneration
All the armies of the sky;
Chiefly him, the warrior Primate
Of celestial chivalry;
Michael who in princely virtue
Hurled Satan from on high.
III
Laud and honour to the Father,
Laud and honour to the Son,
Laud and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One;
Consubstantial, co-eternal
While unending ages run.
Amen.
†
Let us pray
Michael Glorious Chief and champion of the heavenly host
guardian of the souls of men
conqueror of the rebel angels
steward of the palace of God
under Jesus Christ our worthy leader
endowed with superhuman excellence and virtue
vouchsafe to free us from ever ill
who with full confidence have recourse to thee
obtain for us the favour we ask in this novena
(Hear pause to mention your petition)
and by thy protection enable us to make progress every day
in the faithful service of our God.
Amen.
V.) Pray for us, most blessed Michael, prince of the Church of Jesus Christ.
R.) That we may be made worthy of the promises of Jesus Christ.
OUR FATHER
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
HAIL MARY
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
GLORY BE
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
V.) Saint Michael the Archangel.
R.) Pray for us.
