Lyrics

St. Michael

CHORUS:
St. Michael, St. Michael
Defend us in battle
St. Michael, Archangel
Mighty Warrior of God

St. Michael, the Archangel
defend us in battle
Be our defense against
the snares of the devil

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray
Keep us, O St. Michael, from satan’s way

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Spoken:
St. Michael the Archangel
defend us in battle
Be our protection against
the wickedness and snares of the devil
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray
And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host
By the power of God
cast into hell satan, and all the evil spirits
Who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

(REPEAT CHORUS)

For our fight is not
against flesh and blood
But with powers and principalities
so stand, stand with us

(REPEAT CHORUS)
