    Christe sanctórum decus Angelórum, Rector humáni géneris et auctor: Nobis ætérnum tríbue benígnus Scándere cælum.

    Angelum pacis Míchaël ad istam Cǽlitus mitti rogitámus aulam, Nobis ut crebro veniénte crescant Próspera cuncta.

    Angelus fortis Gábriel, ut hostem Pellat antíquum, vólitet ab alto, Sǽpius templum véniens ad istud Vísere nostrum.

    Angelum nobis médicum salútis Mitte de cælis Ráphaël, ut omnes Sanet ægrótos, paritérque nostros Dírigat actus.

    Hinc Dei nostri Génitrix María, Totus et nobis chorus Angelórum Semper assístat, simul et beáta Cóncio tota.

    Præstet hoc nobis Déitas beáta Patris, ac Nati, paritérque Sancti Spíritus, cujus réboat in omni Glória mundo. Amen.

    Christ, of the angels praise and adoration, Father and Saviour thou, of every nation, Graciously grant us all to gain a station, Where thou art reigning.

    Angel all peaceful, to our dwellings send us, Michael, from heaven coming to befriend us, Breathing serenest peace may he attend us, Grim war dispelling.

    Angel of strength, who triumphed, tumults quelling, Gabriel send us, ancient foes expelling, Oft in these temples may he make his dwelling, Dear unto heaven.

    Angel physician, health on man bestowing, Raphael send us from the skies all glowing, All sickness curing, wisest counsel showing In doubt and danger.

    May the fair Mother of the Light be o'er us, Virgin of peace, with all the angel chorus, And may the heavenly army go before us, Guiding and guarding.

    O may the Godhead, endless bliss possessing, Father, Son, Spirit, grant to us this blessing; All his creation joins his praise confessing, Now and forever. Amen.
