And keep our feet from the distractions we have

Protect us until God we behold
In all His majesty, splendor, and glory
To hear the ending of our story

Oh fervent Archangels, righteous and fair
All with authority are under your care
And with St. Michael, your illustrious leader,
You are ever ready to battle the great Deceiver.

And keep all of our temptations at bay.
Oh guardian Angels, swift and kind
Guard the very recesses of our minds
Keep in your living care, we creatures so lowly,
Until we can sing in unison “holy, holy, holy”.
Angels of God, oh glorious host
Protect those who need you most
Guide and teach us ever this day
And keep all of our temptations at bay.
