THE ANGELS MICHAEL, RAPHAEL AND GABRIEL

 
                                                                    Copy of icon by Arlene Tilghman.


Oh, Michael, mighty soldier of The Lord
Stretch out your arm when sin tempts us away,
Guard us from evil with your gleaming sword,
Hit hard and drive Satanic force away.
Raphael, come to us with healing balm,
With whispered words to cool the fevered brow,
When trouble rages, speak to us of calm,
Stay with us at this moment, here and now.
And Gabriel, God's messenger of peace,
"Glad tidings of great joy" for all to hear,
"Be not afraid," with these words all fears cease,
Both then and now and throughout every year.
Archangels three, protect us with God's love,
And guide us all to His kingdom above
